Providing a secure, hassle free data backup solution for Laptops, PCs & Macs.

Best Backup Light for Laptops, PCs & Macs is a perfect solution for sole traders and organisations that take a responsible attitude towards the protection of their data.

• Simple File Selection – Best Backup Light puts you in control of what you backup. A simple wizard provides options to back up the most commonly used applications and files, while advanced features enable selection of files from any part of the system.
   
• Automated Backups – All backups run in the background to a regular schedule and automate the process for you. In the event that a scheduled backup is missed, i.e. the protected machine is switched off, a reminder is presented on screen next time the machine is switched on and connected to the Internet.
  
  Our software application also supports manual backup operations. Ideal for running a quick backup prior to moving or upgrading a machine.

• Efficient Backups – With our service there’s no waiting around for complete copies of your valuable files to transfer to USB drives or memory sticks. A highly efficient differencing process targets only the files that have changed since the last backup and then only sends the parts of those files that have been altered. This process significantly reduces backup times to often just a few minutes.
   
• Support for Popular Email Programs  - Traditionally email applications such as Microsoft Outlook & Outlook Express have been tricky to protect, mainly due to the large file sizes that they create. With Best Backup Light, that’s not a problem. Firstly, we back up those programs while you are using them, so you don’t have to stop working. Secondly, our differencing engine only backs up the changes inside the underlying files, which means that backups are fast and efficient.
   
• Open File Support – Some applications lock files when they are being used which can create headaches for some backup applications. Best Backup Light seamlessly backs up open files, enabling you to carry on working while your backup runs.
   
• Continuous Data Protection – Continuous data protection can be enabled which provides granular backups as frequently as every 5 minutes.
   
• Comprehensive Backup History – Unlike many solutions on the market, our service maintains a history of your backups enabling you to roll back to previous snapshots. The default snapshot history is 7 days and can be extended to any period up to 20 years plus.
   
• Windows & Mac Operating Systems Support – All versions of Windows desktop operating systems from Windows 2000 onwards are supported as well as Mac OS X 10.3 onwards.
   
• Security – Privacy and security of your sensitive business data should be a prime concern when backing it up, especially if you are entrusting it to a third party.
  
  Best Backup Light from OnStrada employs some of the tightest security available today. All data is encrypted using an algorithm called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) before it leaves your machine, and it remains encrypted both in transit and in storage on our systems. As an added security measure, we use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) channel between your machine and our systems during data transfers to prevent any risk of eavesdropping.
  
  In fact, you are the only party able to view the contents of your data.

• Reporting – Comprehensive reporting is available at all times through the user interface in our application. Daily email reports also provide confirmation of the status of your backups.
   
• Robust Error Checking – Best Backup Light offers enterprise class error checking to ensure that the data that is backed up to us is an exact copy of the information held on your systems. As a further precaution, automated checks are made on our systems to ensure that the integrity of your data is uncompromised.
   
• Monitoring – We believe in leaving nothing to chance. Therefore, all backups are proactively monitored daily by our engineers to ensure that they are error free and running correctly. In the event that errors are identified, we will attempt to correct them and contact you if further diagnostics are required.
   
• Software Upgrades – All software upgrades are included in your monthly subscription and applied automatically, so you get to benefit from new features without the hassle of having to download software.
