SOS Online Backup is a single purpose company - our mission is to help consumers, small businesses, and enterprises properly protect the investment theyve made in their data quickly, easily, and inexpensively. Originally based in Australia, SOS Online Backup started R&D for the SOS Online Backup System in 2002, and since then has worked to build a global backup network designed to provide simple and inexpensive online backup to anyone. SOS has offices/facilities in the USA (Los Angeles, Austin, Houston), Australia (Melbourne, Brisbane), India & Europe. SOS has hundreds of resellers - and partners on 5 continents.
We all get car insurance without thinking - and yet if we crash our car - it can be fixed or replaced. What would happen if you lost all your emails? All your financial records? What would happen if you lost your MYOB or Quicken or QuickBooks database? Over 60% of business who experience such loss are out of business within 6 months. Why? Because most people dont backup properly - either because it takes too much time and effort, or the systems required cost too much. For those businesses that do backup - the backup is usually inadequate - rarely done daily, and rarely taken offsite.
SOS Online Backup was born to fix all that. Now small businesses and consumers can take advantage of IT-best-practice long used by major companies to make sure they never lose an important document again.

About the Software -
SOS Online Backup is a useful program with the help of which you will never lose another document again. Ever. SOS ushers in a new age in data protection and file recovery. You can rest assured - knowing that even if the worst were to occur - the lifeblood of your business, your data, is Safe OffSite.
The SOS service provides data-protection for customers, whether they are SMEs, SOHOs, professionals at home, students, or anyone with electronic files to be protected from data-loss. SOS brings big-business IT-best-practice to small businesses and consumers.
The SOS service is delivered through a software program (the SOS Windows Client) installed on the end-user’s computer. The user then tells the program what files to protect, and each night, at a configured time, (or instantaneously at the option of the user) SOS backs up any files that have changed since the previous backup.
Files are backed up to a global network of SOS datacenters powered by the proprietary SOS Server and InfiniScaleTM technologies. Data is compressed using proprietary SOS ShrinkRAPTM delta compression that ensures that only the changes made to files are sent over the network – dramatically reducing bandwidth consumption.
It is this performance enhancement that forms the core of the SOS Designed-For-Dial-Up strategy, and gives our platform mass market appeal.
SOS can also be set up to intelligently watch particular folders – and to either backup all the files in that folder – or just a subset of them. For example – you can easily define a filter that says – “only backup the word documents in My Documents folder”. Simple – but powerful.
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. |
