SITCA, Systems Information Technology Caribbean, an Information Technology services and solutions provider has added data backup to its portfolio of products and services. SITCA's data backup service employs military-grade encryption algorithms to secure the information being stored. It works by first installing a proprietary application on the user's computer or laptop. After the program is installed the user selects which folders or type of documents (email, photos, music, etc) he/she wants to back up and how often he/she wants the back up to occur. Once done, SITCA's data backup service handles everything else by remembering to backup files automatically, saving different versions of files in case of edits made, and keeping files securely located at encrypted datacenters.
Kadesh Bailey, manager, commented on the various features and advantages of the service, "Unlike a CD, DVD, USB flash drive, or external drive which can fail or be rendered unreadable, this service is carried out online transferring data through the Internet using 128-bit SSL technology - the same used for online banking", Bailey said. "Not only that, as a customer you have access to your backed-up files twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days of the year. That is, for instance, if your computer crashes, you are able to securely log in to our system and retrieve your encrypted backed-up files", he added.
Carrying out regular back-ups of important information such like graduation photos, music, documents, customer files, presentations, or anything else of importance you on a regular basis is very important. Sometimes though, we do not always remember which is possibly why SITCA created their system to run automatically. Bailey concluded by saying, "With all the effort we put in capturing, creating, editing, and saving information on our computer, it would be such a shame to lose it all just because of an unfortunate event like theft, a crash, or other disaster. Backing up your files using our system to ensure you have up-to-date backups will help to mitigate that risk".
