How Does the BackOnline System Work?

BackOnline offers a secure and easy-to-use online backup solution. The diagram below demonstrates how it works.

Installation of BackOnline

  •  Installation includes phone support from a BackOnline technician, with the option of remote access to your server to run the installation and setup for you.
  • YOU set the encryption password.
  • Choose and select the data you want to be backed up.
  • Select the frequency of your incremental data snapshots during the day and frequency of offsite data transfer.

The Initial Full Backup

For the first full backup, the data is compressed, and encrypted and stored to an external hard drive. This hard drive is sent directly to the BackOnline Offsite Server and loaded, eliminating the need to do the first offsite backup across the internet.

Incremental Backups

Incremental backups begin; data is compressed and encrypted locally, and snapshots are stored on the BackOnline Server onsite with client.

Offsite Backups

After business hours, the incremental data changes for the day are encrypted and compressed, and uploaded to a remote server (Storage Server One) via your internet connection.

Storage Server One features:

  • Limited Access Fire Suppression
  • RAID Technology
  • Secure Web Access
  • Secure Facility located in Australia
  • Separate Data Providers
  • Redundant Power Supply

Replication Server

Backup Once your data has reached Storage Server One, it is then automatically backed up to our Replication and Storage servers. A full backup report is emailed to you confirming a successful scheduled backup. Our support team will monitor these reports and contact you if there are any problems. Restores can be done directly from your onsite BackOnline Server, or from the Offsite Storage Server via web-based software.
