How Does Clunk Click
Back-up Protect Data From Prying Eyes?
Encryption and
Password Protection
Data security is essential! You need to protect your data
against outsiders and against unauthorised internal access.
Your data is held at two geographically dispersed high
security data centres.
Encryption
Encryption converts data into an unreadable format to
prevent unauthorised viewing or access.
Clunk Click Online Pro uses a combination of Blowfish
448 encryption and SSL secure data transmission to ensure
the safety of your data.
Password Protection
Password protection ensures your data is protected from
unauthorised access.
If a laptop is stolen or a desktop PC is left unattended,
you don’t want anyone with physical access to a
PC to be able to restore any of the data that was previously
backed up.
Clunk Click Backup offers an additional level of security
via client password protection. This protection gives
you the flexibility to select a private account password
(distinct from the encryption key). This password must
be entered to restore backed up data. So, even if someone
has unauthorised access to a user’s PC, they cannot
restore backed up data. If a PC is stolen or accessed
by unauthorised personnel, a full or partial restoration
is impossible.
Preventing Unauthorised
Access
Clunk Click Backup encrypts all data before it leaves
your PC, so that it travels over the network to the Secure
Data Centres in an unreadable format.
OnLine Pro uses a secure SSL tunnel to transfer your encrypted
data to our data centres, to prevent any eavesdropping,
capturing or tampering.
Removing the
Hacker Threat
Clunk Click Backup does not create an opening for incoming
connections; outgoing connections can be limited to specific
ports at specific IP addresses.
Firewall Compatibility
Clunk Click Backup is compatible with all corporate firewall
systems, including SOCKS and proxy servers. Connections
are only initiated by clients from within the corporate
network. The Secure Data Centres never attempt to connect
to a client and thus there is no need to provide an opening
in the firewall that would allow external access to your
network.
Best Practices
Affords Additional Protection
The Clunk Click secure data centres are designed to provide
extremely
reliable protection for your important files. To this
end we employ:
Transmission
Checking
Clunk Click utilises extensive error checking to detect
data transmission problems before your data reaches the
data centres. The Clunk Click software retransmits any
data packets if transmission errors are detected.
Server Mirroring
Clunk Click employs geographically separate mirrored secure
data servers at all times. When data arrives at one, it
is simultaneously copied over secure communication lines
to the other.
The synchronicity of this process provides 24/7/365 accessibility
of the backup and restore facilities.
Raid Redundancy
To provide additional insurance against data loss due
to disk failure, each computer system in the secure data
centres uses self-repairing RAID storage techniques. Inherent
to RAID is built in redundancy, which enables the system
to automatically recover, without loss of data, from a
disk failure. And of course there is always the second
copy of the data on the second secure data centre machines.
