Key Features and Benefits

Traditional backup methods like Zip drives and re-writable CDs don't fully protect you from data loss. They rely on someone to run them manually and often your data is left at your place of business.

Desktop Backup runs automatically. Set it once and it runs at the time you schedule, so long as your PC is connected to the Internet
You save valuable time that your staff spends running backups
Backups are fast because only the changed portion of each file is backed up.
Built-in version control. You can retrieve the last 9 versions of your files.
Safe and secure. Desktop Backup uses 128-bit AES encryption, a state-of-the-art security standard.
Unlimited storage is available

The first time you access the service - through an easy-to-install client application and a connection to the Internet - the TELUS Desktop Backup Service performs a full backup on the files pre-selected by the user or administrator.

Then, you can set the service to perform backups automatically or manually. Subsequent backups simply update the files that have changed. It takes only minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

The Delta Block file comparison technology backs up only the changed portions of each file rather than the whole file, effectively reducing the session on a dial-up line to seconds or minutes.

When you need to access your backed-up files, simply launch the client application and find the files you need. With TELUS Desktop Backup's iRoam feature, you can also use any web browser, making it possible to access your files from home, office or a client's PC.
