Cobian

 

WE TAKE YOUR DATA VERY SERIOUSLY

Elancs.Net strongly recommends a fully encrypted backup  using COBIAN backup software.

We will supply you this free of charge.

Cobian is an ftp program that securely  encrypts your data, using the very latest unhackable  RSA Rijndael Public Private keys.

 

Cobian Backup software provides a one way only, fully encrypted solution. So there can be no worries over Data Security.  This is zipped and FTP'd to our server.

NB you must make a note of the encryption password, otherwise the backup will be unrecoverable

The Cobian process is simple:-

You can download Cobian from our website, and we will assist you if you need it, to determine which files to back up. You then schedule this to run after you have gone home.

once you have selected the files you map a drive to our NAS and at the scheduled time the system runs.

The software then copies all files into a zip file, this is then encrypted on your pc, with the Public key, the encryption process can take a long time depending upon how much data is being encrypted. At the end of encryption, the single file is transferred to our server.

Recovery is by request to our support team, and must be from your authorised person. Decryption also takes a some time to run. We will assist you in downloading the file.

You can download Cobian here, free of charge

     
Disaster Recovery

It is now generally recognised that Business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning are vital activities.

However, the creation of (and maintenance of) a sound business continuity and disaster recovery plan, is a complex undertaking, involving a series of steps.

Prior to creation of the plan itself, it is essential to consider the potential impacts of disaster and to understand the underlying risks: these are the foundations upon which a sound business continuity plan or disaster recovery plan should be built. Following these activities the plan itself must be constructed - no small task. This itself must then be maintained, tested and audited to ensure that it remains appropriate to the needs of the organisation. Contact us for a full and frank discussion of your needs.
