Recovering Files

When trouble comes, be it a virus, a failed hard-disk, or a stolen computer, SOS is there to save the customer. The end-user simply clicks the "Recover" console within the SOS program, enters the username and password, selects the file(s) to recover, and clicks "restore file(s)". The SOS system also keeps an archive of every daily version of the file, so if you want to get a previous version of a document, say, as it was last Tuesday, SOS can do that too. This stands in contrast to most online backup systems, where daily versions are not kept.

Privacy and Security

The SOS system ensures complete privacy protection. SOS UltraSafeTM security uses a three-tiered encryption system which encrypts data on the user's computer, again in transit, and finally when at rest in storage. SOS UltraSafeTM means that the user's decryption password is not stored in our systems so that not even the SOS programmers can view the data stored on the SOS servers. Only the user who put it there can ever access the data. This stands in contrast to most other online backup systems, where data is neither encrypted on your client, nor stored as encrypted data so as to prevent employees of the software vendor from accessing stored data.
