Data stored on your Ybackup is backed up on to multiple storage servers at our data centers in the UK ensuring your data is fully protected.
Our network is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls ensuring that once your data is on our servers only the people you want to access your data can.
Files stored on our servers are encrypted, using military grade, AES-256 encryption, so in the very unlikely event that someone compromised our data storage and stole any data it would be meaningless. This storage encryption is done by our web service on receipt of the file, rather than by the Desktop Sync Software on your PC to allow you to be able to, e.g. view files through the web portal, to download the unencrypted files directly from the web portal etc.
The encryption you can use between the Desktop software and the Ybackup servers is a separate process - more similar to the SSL connection you use when sending data to and from your online bank.
User’s data can only be accessed by being logged in as the user, except where it is shared publicly when it is visible to everyone through the sharing portal.
We have strict processes in place to ensure that the team cannot access customer data stored on Ybackup.
We can close a Ybackup account if the customer violates copyright regulations by publicly sharing data that they do not own, but data stored privately on Ybackup is private and cannot be accessed by staff.
