Remote Backup: System Requirements

RBackup runs on all versions of Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, ME, 2000, and 2003. RBackup supports all networks that run with these operating systems.

At a predetermined time the RBS Client software "wakes up" and determines which files need backing up, and what kind of backup (out of three possibilities) is scheduled for that session. It then compresses those files into archives that can in many cases be only 5% to 15% of the original file sizes. These archives are then encrypted using an encryption key known only to the client.

After backup files are compressed and encrypted, RBackup activates the client's modem or Internet connection. It contacts your computer and sends its backup. The backup is verified for integrity before sending and while being sent, then again after it reaches your Server. This ensures that the copy of the backup that's on your Server exactly matches the copy that was sent from the Client.
