Keep your backups secure

In most cases it is important to protect the backup copy of your data from unauthorized access. Obviously you should apply some security measures if you backup documents contain personal data or any kind confidential business files.

Backup Platinum has two options for this purpose: regular ZIP password protection and strong 128-bit Blowfish encryption. The latter is much more secure. Files encrypted with Blowfish can be compressed using ZIP method too. However since the standard does not support this type of encryption, the data from such archives can be restored only with help of Backup Platinum.

One more useful option is to store backup data into self-extracting executable files. Such files are also compressed with ZIP method and can be encrypted with Blowfish at the same time. So, you have all the advantages: strong encryption and possibility to extract data without any software at all.

In all mentioned cases nobody will access your stored data without your secret password, so you should make sure that you never forget it.
