As with normal paid services, BuddyBackup can keep multiple copies of important data securely and remotely on any Windows XP based machine.
Data is encrypted and compressed before being sent over the internet and can only be viewed by the user whose data it is. BuddyBackup even keeps multiple versions of data allowing users to retrieve an older version of a file.
“We see this as a revolution in the online backup industry; by using the power of grid storage or basically utilising the amount of free space on computer hard drives, we can offer a service which is completely free”
Peter Groucutt, Databarracks Managing Director commented earlier today.
The software is available to anyone to download and should be particularly popular with home users and students who have important data to backup, but to whom a commercial online backup solution is unaffordable.
“We are bracing ourselves for uptake in pretty large numbers; the service should be incredibly popular. We have added a forum to the BuddyBackup site so that even people who do not know anyone to whom they could backup can meet other Buddies from around the world and share space.”
