How we protect your data
We use non-reversible 448-bit encryption on your backups and encrypt all data before it leaves your premises. Backup data cannot be decrypted during transmission to our network, nor can we access it without the backup password.
Once the data arrives on our network, it is stored on our fully redundant and highly available SAN storage platform. Your data is protected by RAID 6 on our SAN and replicated to another facility for added protection.
All data is stored at one of the UK’s leading BlueSquare data centres, see here.
All live backup data is replicated securely to our 2nd facility to maintain durability.
Handling initial large backups or disaster recovery
WorldBackups enables a partner to securely copy encrypted data on a customer’s server to portable media. The media can be sent via courier and synced directly with our network at one of our facilities. This service is essential where large amounts of backed up data or data to be restored cannot be transmitted quickly enough over the internet.
