Backup & synchronization
What's the difference between our solution and our competitors? Our software will be a mix between backup, synchronization, and file management.
First let's talk about backups, a backup is normally running one a day, to make a copy of your files that will be kept a predefined amount of time. The good part is you keep multiple versions of every file, very good against lost or ransomware. The weak point is you run a backup one a day, at a specific time, for example 3:00 am, you need to let your computer running all night. Because you backup every file you do not usually run a backup while working on the computer.
Second, synchronization, the synchronization is very good, as soon as the file is created, a task is schedule to sync the file in background. The good points, you don't have to run backups, your files are available on all devices, good again device lost or hard drive crash. The weak point, when you delete a file, the sync will schedule a task in background to delete the file, this is not a backup solution. If you get infected with a ransomware, basically the ransomware takes every file, create an encrypted file with the same name and delete the original, you need to pay to have the decryption key. It's easy to think that your synchronization will continue, your pictures will be deleted and replaced on the cloud.
Third, file management, in a lifetime you will use multiple computers, phones, tablets, etc. Every operating system has his own way to manage files, this is a problem if you want to synchronize multiple devices with multiple operating systems.
MYAG will take the best practice from every operating system, where the files are normally stored, and make an intelligent synchronization software, customizable for advance users. In English, you will be able to backup and synchronize your, iPhone, with your android tablet, and your windows or Linux computer.
This is how the backup and synchronization software will work, we will synchronize your files, on the cloud or on your network attached storage. Every night we will run, on the cloud or network attached storage, a differential snapshot of your files. This mean that you are not wasting space with multiple backups of the same file, but you have a copy of your files, even if the file got deleted. Remember if you delete a file on your phone, it will be automatically deleted on your computers and tablets, you will need to do a restore to find the file. Yes, your backup and sync will grow, always grow.
The snapshot backup service is offer with our cloud service and our network attached storage, if you use our software on a third-party cloud or network attached storage, you might not have the backup snapshot services included.
