Secure 128-bit SSL communication
All communications between Datumguard Backup Servers and your computer are transported in a 128-bit
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) channel. Although all your backup files travel through a public network
(internet), eavesdroppers have no knowledge of what has been exchanged.

Backup data are securely encrypted
All of your files are first zipped and encrypted with your defined encrypting key before they are sent
to Datumguard backup servers. To all people but you, your files stored on Datumguard backup servers are no
more than some garbage files with random content.

Encrypting key is well protected
The encrypting key used to encrypt your files resides only on your computer and is known only to
you. It is never transmitted anywhere across the network. Thus, even the system administrators will
not be able to decrypt and view the content of your files stored on the backup servers without your
permission. This unfortunately means if the encrypting key is lost, you will never be able to recover
your backup files.

Best encryption algorithm is used
Currently, the algorithm that we are using to encrypt your files is 128-bit Twofish. It is a block cipher
designed by Counterpane Labs. It was also one of the five Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
finalists chosen by National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). It subjects to frequent
public reviews but no known attack against this algorithm has been reported.

Require 8.77 x 10/17th years to crack the 128-bit encryption
A 128-bit key size has 2 or around 3.4 x 10 possible combination.  It would take 8.77 x 10/17th years to test all combinations. Assuming your have a super
computer, available to you. Also it just needs one computer operation to test a possible combination. To use brute force
attack (checking all combinations) on this encryption algorithm. It would take: 876530835323573935 years or 8.77 x 10/17th years
to successfully try all combinations.

 Restrict access to data by IP addresses
You can also restrict access to your backup files from the set of IP addresses you defined. If
someone tries to access your data from an IP address not on your defined list, their access will be
denied. This additional security ensures backup files are not open to all location, even username
and password are known.

All backed up data is 100% restorable to its original format by simply clicking a few buttons, and will be there when you need it.
