File Protection—Cloud-Based File Backup Service
File Protection is a simple, cloud-based backup service designed to protect business files and documents from common risks such as human error, hardware failure, and lost or stolen devices. The solution is easy to deploy, centrally managed, and operates continuously in the background to ensure critical data is always protected.
File Protection automatically backs up files from specified locations and stores them securely in a personalised portfolio. It runs in service mode at all times, ensuring backups continue even when devices are unattended. Backed-up files are retained indefinitely, provided they remain within the backup set, allowing businesses to recover data whenever required.
The service supports both Windows and Mac environments and provides fast, reliable file restoration for lost or corrupted data. Multiple file versions are retained, enabling recovery of earlier versions and protection against accidental overwrites or unwanted changes.
Built with security and compliance in mind, File Protection uses 256-bit AES encryption for data both in transit and at rest and is tested against recognised compliance standards, including HIPAA and SOC2. Automated scheduled reports provide visibility into backup status and maintain an audit trail of activity, giving businesses confidence that their data is protected at all times.
