Easily select the files and folders to be backed up

Files and folders can be individually selected, or you can create filters to automatically select your specific files. Select the file(s) you would like to restore - You can select any number of files that you would like to restore. This is useful if you accidentally delete a file or need an older version of a document you are working on. In addition to this, if some of your data becomes infected with a virus, you can restore a previous (un-infected) version of the file, and continue working without any delays.

Encrypted

All data is encrypted so that it is unreadable to anyone who may view it, including keepITsafe operational staff - For optimal security all data is encrypted so that no one can view your valuable information. The data is encrypted before it leaves your computer. This means that it is completely safe while it is on its way to our server. The data is then stored on the server in its encrypted form. This is an extremely important feature of keepITsafe because users, understandably, want their data to remain as secure as possible.

All data is compressed for transmission - To save you time and ISP connection costs all files on your computer are compressed before they are sent for backup.

Comprehensive Log file

keepITsafe has a detailed Log File that provides information on each of your backups. This information includes the backup size before and after compression, the number of compressed files, warning, errors, time of backup etc.
