Secure Online Backup Service

Whether for regulatory compliance or simple peace of mind, we can offer you a secure online backup service that never forgets to change tapes or bring back the offsite copies and always notifies you when a backup fails. Our backup data solution is always secure and always stays in Canada.

How our secure online backup service works

We install a simple backup software agent on your targeted server/computer and set a schedule to perform a secure online backup.  The schedule can be set as infrequently as every month and as often as every 15 minutes.  We use military-grade AES 256 encryption to protect your data and send it through your internet connection to our Canadian storage servers.  In the event that you need to recover data, you simply download your data from the storage server and use your unique password to de-crypt your information.

Our backup software agent encrypts and compresses your information before it leaves your computer and uploads only the changes made since the last online backup. Our process keeps the backup security high while reducing cost and minimizing the data transmission over your internet connection.

We can also save the encrypted data backup to a local storage location before it goes to our Canadian storage servers. The combination of local storage with our online backup gives you the speed and convenience of a quick restore with the enhanced protection of an offsite backup copy.

Britecloud Online Backup has it all

Regulatory Compliance

We can offer our clients that operate in speciality fields (law firms, medical clinics and any publicly listed company) online backups that stay only within Canada.  Since your data never goes to a company in the USA, you are not bound by the Patriot Act.

Why Britecloud Online Backup?

There are many reasons why Britecloud Online Backup is better than the other options out there. Ask yourself these questions when comparing online backup services:

• Does my data stay in Canada?

  Britecloud Online Backup is located in Canada and only in Canada. Our software provider is Canadian, our infrastructure providers are Canadian and we are Canadian. Our Primary datacenter is in Edmonton AB.

• Who can access my unencrypted data?

  The only way to access your data once it has been encrypted is with the passphrase you entered when creating the backup. The encryption happens BEFORE THE DATA LEAVES YOUR COMPUTER so we NEVER have access to your important, confidential data. Even a local copy of your data is secured with encryption.

• Do I have the option to store a copy of my backup locally?

  Britecloud Online Backup gives you the option of backing up just to our Cloud, just to a local device or to both! Data can be restored without even using your internet connection.

• How quickly and easily could I get my data in the event of an emergency?

  Because our primary datacenter is located within Western Canada we can typically get a full copy of your encrypted data to your Alberta location within 24 hours of you notifying us of your emergency.

• Do I pay extra for each device I backup?

  We don’t charge extra for servers and you don’t pay a per computer charge. Just pay for the total compressed space you use, it’s that simple.

What is AES 256 Encryption?

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Encryption was introduced in 2000 as an answer to a US Government request for a new encryption standard to replace the aging and limited strength Data Encryption Standard (DES). Today the US National Security Agency (NSA) and Communications Security Establishment Canada approve the use of “AES with 256-bit keys… to protect classified information at the TOP SECRET level.” TOP SECRET is the highest level of protection and is reserved for data that if publicly disclosed, would compromise national security.
