Guildford, UK (Dec. 18, 2009) – Bytebaq software is giving Internet service providers, computer stores and other computer resellers an extraordinary opportunity to offer secure offsite computer backup services to their customers for a single flat fee.

Bytebaq is a unique alternative in the marketplace. Unlike other UK-based offsite backup services that charge according to the amount of data being backed up, Bytebaq provides unlimited backup for a fixed annual fee. This means customers can back up everything on their desktop or laptop without ever having to worry about the monthly price increases due to storing more information. The Bytebaq service is based on proven software available from DataFort, an established player in the UK computer security market.

“Bytebaq should be an easy sell for anyone looking to bring new revenue in without a drain on resources,” said Marcie Terman, DataFort’s managing director. “After the sale, DataFort takes the point on serving the customer providing technical support and advice on how to use the service.  Further, the fixed-price model provides a key differentiator to competing products.”  

Bytebaq represents an easy-to-implement option among offsite computer backup services. After installation, it automatically starts backing up all the data on a computer. There is no hassle of kicking off backups or changing disks. And instead of storing the files locally, it transports them to a secure offsite location. Because the backed up data is maintained in a different place, it’s not subject to the same security risks as the computer’s original files. So customers can relax knowing their family photos, university essays and other important files will be available whenever they need them.   

In addition to being fully automated and secure, Bytebaq is very simple to set up. Here’s how it works: Once the software is installed and registered on a customer’s computer, it immediately begins backing up the data on the machine. Then it continues to transfer new files from the computer to DataFort’s secure vaults. Whenever data needs to be recovered, customers can easily retrieve their information with just a few mouse clicks.

In terms of technical features, Bytebaq provides unlimited data backup for any computer running a Windows non-server operating system. The software:

• Works on Windows XP, Vista or System 7, 32 or 64 bit systems
• Can copy everything on the computer or be set for selective backup
• Runs constantly in the background, continuously protecting data whenever the customer is connected to the Internet
• Uses financial-grade, 256-bit encryption to fully protect data during transmission
• Features highly-efficient, space-saving compression
• Offers bandwidth profiling to minimize the impact of data transmission on other Internet usage
