What is an Online Backup Service? An Online Backup Service is an Internet-based service that allows computer
users to routinely backup and recover their important data using a secure and
trusted server on the Internet.
If you use your computer to create and save valuable data for business or personal
reasons, you should make some type of backup of your important data to prevent a total
loss in the event of any kind of system failure or human error. Simple data backup can
be done by saving your data to multiple locations, copying the data from its original
location to removable media, another hard drive, or another computers hard drive on the network.
To make this task easier, specialized programs known as Backup Software exist to aid
users in regularly making a backup copy of their data. Since some users are not interested
in managing the tasks necessary for maintaining their own backups, a new breed of backup
software was created, known as Online Backup Software. Online Backup software is designed
to routinely copy your important files to a private, secure location on the Internet by
securely transmitting your data over your existing Internet connection.
If you have a working Internet connection on your computer, you can use
the HDS Online Backup Service to keep your important files safe from
disaster on a daily basis. Sign up now for
our Online Backup Service.
Is a broadband internet connection required?
No. However, depending on the speed of your connection and the size of your backup, your initial backup
over the Internet may take several hours or even days. Many people with large backup sizes
and slower Internet connections will often run their first backup over the weekend. Once the
first backup is completed, each subsequent backup is usually a small amount of data that can
be backed up in just minutes over a slower dialup connection.
Our software can also resume a canceled backup, so you can start the backup during your
slow times and cancel it during your busy times. The next time you start the backup, it
will pick up from where it was canceled until the entire backup is complete.
How do I restore my data?
Relax! This is the easy part. Use the HDS software on your computer and restore your data, login to your HDS account and restore your data via the web or contact
HDS and request a CD/DVD recovery disc with your data.
