Student Backup’s customized software system has been developed over the years with the goal of providing the most secure method for college students to backup their files automatically every day. Our backup process has been simplified so that once you have installed our proprietary software your job is done. Simply leave your computer on and connected to the Internet each evening and all your files will be backed up at our secure data center.

Each day at a designated time, our software scans your computer’s hard drive for new or modified files. Any files that have been created or changed in the last 24 hours since the last backup are encrypted on your computer, compressed and delivered via the Internet to Student Backup’s server array at our secure data center. Old unmodified files have already been backed up at our facility and as such do not need to be backed up each evening.

The file restoration process is extremely quick and easy. In the event you need to recover your files, you just click on the Disaster Recovery icon found on the Home Page, follow the simple instructions and within minutes you’ll have your files back and be able to work again.

IMPORTANT: You will need your User Name and Password to retrieve your data (this information is provided to you during the registration and software installation process). Without these pieces of information you will not be able to recover your data. Store this critical identification data in a safe and secure place.

*** If you purchased your software before May 2008 you will also need your encryption key to restore your data.

Security and redundancy are abundant throughout our entire technology infrastructure. Our security systems include:

• Military grade encryption of your data, the highest level of encryption available today.

• Multi-redundant server infrastructure, including complete redundancy of data in our multi-server environment.

• Our data center has multi-layer redundancy for both electric power and Internet connectivity.
