How It Works
Four Painless Steps to Automatic Data Backup
Automating Your Online Backup is Easy
DataProtect's setup wizard easily guides you through the steps to setting up your secure, automated online backup system. Just follow these four easy steps to protect yourself from a data loss disaster:
[1] Download DataProtect
Log into SiteControl from the computer you want to backup. Click DataProtect to download the application.
[2] Launch DataProtect
When the download is complete, a DataProtect icon will appear on your desktop. Click it to launch the application.
[3] Select the files you want to back-up
You can select particular files to back-up right away or wait until your next scheduled backup.
[4] Choose how often you want your files backed-up
Click schedules to set your automated backup routine. You can choose daily, monthly, weekly or every time you shut off your computer.
Faster Internet connections cut the time it takes DataProtect to back-up your files online. The first backup takes the most time when DataProtect compresses and encrypts all of the files you selected and sends them to Hostway's data centers. After that, DataProtect saves time with data snapshots that back-up only the files that have changed. When your hard drive crashes, your latest files are safe and easy to recover.
Restore Lost Data in a Few Clicks
It only takes three clicks to retrieve your lost data. DataProtect saves multiple versions of your files, so you can select the exact version you need. Just click the Restore button, select the files you'd like to recover and click Restore Now from your desktop.
If you had to replace your computer, you can retrieve your lost data from any computer using the WebRestore feature.
