Encryption and Password Protection
Data security is essential! You need to protect your data against outsiders and against unauthorised internal access.
Your data is held at two geographically dispersed high security data centres.

Encryption
Encryption converts data into an unreadable format to prevent unauthorised viewing or access.
Clunk Click Online Pro uses a combination of Blowfish 448 encryption and SSL secure data transmission to ensure the safety of your data.

Password Protection
Password protection ensures your data is protected from unauthorised access.
If a laptop is stolen or a desktop PC is left unattended, you don’t want anyone with physical access to a PC to be able to restore any of the data that was previously backed up.
Clunk Click Backup offers an additional level of security via client password protection. This protection gives you the flexibility to select a private account password (distinct from the encryption key). This password must be entered to restore backed up data. So, even if someone has unauthorised access to a user’s PC, they cannot restore backed up data. If a PC is stolen or accessed by unauthorised personnel, a full or partial restoration is impossible.

Preventing Unauthorised Access
Clunk Click Backup encrypts all data before it leaves your PC, so that it travels over the network to the Secure Data Centres in an unreadable format.
OnLine Pro uses a secure SSL tunnel to transfer your encrypted data to our data centres, to prevent any eavesdropping, capturing or tampering.

Removing the Hacker Threat
Clunk Click Backup does not create an opening for incoming connections; outgoing connections can be limited to specific ports at specific IP addresses.
|
|
Firewall Compatibility
Clunk Click Backup is compatible with all corporate firewall systems, including SOCKS and proxy servers. Connections are only initiated by clients from within the corporate network. The Secure Data Centres never attempt to connect to a client and thus there is no need to provide an opening in the firewall that would allow external access to your network.

Best Practices Affords Additional Protection
The Clunk Click secure data centres are designed to provide extremely
reliable protection for your important files. To this end we employ:
Transmission Checking
Clunk Click utilises extensive error checking to detect data transmission problems before your data reaches the data centres. The Clunk Click software retransmits any data packets if transmission errors are detected.
Server Mirroring
Clunk Click employs geographically separate mirrored secure data servers at all times. When data arrives at one, it is simultaneously copied over secure communication lines to the other.
The synchronicity of this process provides 24/7/365 accessibility of the backup and restore facilities.
RAID Redundancy
To provide additional insurance against data loss due to disk failure, each computer system in the secure data centres uses self-repairing RAID storage techniques. Inherent to RAID is built in redundancy, which enables the system to automatically recover, without loss of data, from a disk failure. And of course there is always the second copy of the data on the second secure data centre machines.
