• Integrated email archiving for the easiest and most reliable way to meet your needs.

• Extreme Reliability: The fact is that computers are unreliable. We built our software expecting things to fail and to do everything possible to automatically recover.  For example:
  • If your Internet connection is down for 4 hours during the night while your ISP does maintenance – no problem, STOREfolder Backup automatically recovers even in the middle of 20GB files. STOREfolder Backup only raises errors on permanent failures.
  • On the go with a laptop that is always on and off?  No problem, STOREfolder Backup pauses and resumes are you come and go.

We regularly analyze failed backups and add auto-correction logic to work around common network and operating system problems. We overprovision our data centers and most components have a 2N fault tolerance level instead of just N+1. STOREfolder Backup just works, our customers know it, and that’s why they love it.

• Superior Data Integrity: We not only provide information confidentiality (through encryption), we also provide data integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation (providing proof of the integrity and origin of the data).
  With the backup service you are considering, what guarantees do you have about the data that is restored? How much would it cost your business if some bits or a few data blocks were corrupted in some financial data that you restored? Most backup services will talk about encryption to no end, but encryption is only one piece of information security—confidentiality. Another critically important piece in information security is data integrity, as well as authenticity and non-repudiation
  • The fact is, if you’re a world-class online backup provider and storing petabytes of information, you have to expect to encounter silent data corruption and you have to design your systems to detect and automatically correct it.
  • If an online backup provider doesn’t specifically address the silent data corruption problem and address it at every level of their system, your data is not safe. We have designed our system from the very beginning to provide the ultimate in protection.
  • There are multiple checksums continually verifying the integrity of the data from the moment it is read from disk in the backup client, as it passes through the encrypted network connection, in our servers’ memory, as it passes through down to the OS, through the hardware firmware, and finally onto the disk platters. Additionally we keep a 256-bit block checksum on-disk and verify the integrity of the data every time the block is read and periodically on a monthly basis. If any silent data corruption is detected, then we utilize the other copies of the data to instantly and automatically repair the silent data corruption.

We are so confident in our data integrity assurance mechanisms, that we digitally sign every 2kb data block with a 256-bit digital signature, tied to your encryption key. This guarantees to the person restoring the data that the 2kb data block is 100% intact as it was backed up and also guarantees that the data block has not been altered.

• Reverse Block-level Deltas: Provides superior data integrity (the integrity of the entire current version is verified every time a file is changed) and superior efficiency for data retention (use of 2kb blocks provides up to 40% space savings over solutions with larger block sizes).

• Secure Pass Phrase Recovery: Only at STOREfolder – our proprietary two-party pass phrase recovery system allows one to securely escrow their pass phrase with STOREfolder Backup, protected by the user’s answers to several security questions and our 3072-bit private key. To recover, both STOREfolder Backup and the user must cooperate, and at the end of the process, only the user has access to the recovered pass phrase.
  • Most providers either will store the user’s pass phrase themselves or require the user to manage it themselves. Our unique system allows a user gain the benefits of both – the security of keeping the private key completely to themselves, but the safety of being able to recover it if they need to.

It’s like the 2-key system in nuclear silos…both parties have to cooperate in order for something to happen, and the keys are kept in separate places controlled by different people in different organizations.

• Unified Local and Remote Backups: Perform encrypted local backups to external hard drives or aggregate local backups to any NAS or SAN with just a couple of extra clicks.
  • You can backup a lot more data locally than you do remotely if you choose to do so.
  • STOREfolder Backup can even be used solely for local-only backups if the customer is not ready for remote backups.
  • Local backups enjoy all features of remote backups, including reverse block-level deltas, unlimited historical versioning.

• Email Archiving and Mailbox Storage Management: Control overflowing inboxes, meet legal compliance requirements, optimize Exchange server performance, and provide one-click message restores for users within Outlook for all of their email.
  • Our technology allows you to take old or large content out of Exchange and into the archive, de-duplicate it, and provide single-click access to archived content.
  • All emails, contacts, appointments, etc., are readily available for searching or restoring (at the message level) in the case of accidental deletion or corruption.
