Multiple
copies [versioning for security]
PCFort will store up to three copies of files that change
and are resaved. This will allow you to restore an earlier
‘version’ if the latest one gets corrupted or
infected by an undocumented virus.
Transmission security
Data is encrypted before transmission to the data centre,
where it is stored in the encrypted format. It is only unencrypted
after it has been restored to your computer.
Encryption technology
PCFort uses [AES] encryption technology for data security.
This encryption standard has been approved for internal use
by the US federal government. It is fast, efficient and carries
256-bit security. To put this in perspective, credit card
and bank transactions are carried out over the Internet at
128-bit encryption.
