  How does IBackup secure my data?
 

Files and folders in your online storage account are safe and secure on our servers. Use any IBackup applications like destop client, web-manager etc for secure data backup. Your files and folders are transferred and stored using industry standard 256-bit AES encryption - ideal for higher security needs of Financial, Healthcare and Government organizations.

WARNING: IBackup does not store your Private encryption key on its servers. It is recommended that you archive it safely to backup and restore your data. However, you do not have to remember in case you opt for the Default encryption key.

Can I change my Private encryption key for an existing IBackup account?
 

No. Once the Private encryption key is assigned to your account it cannot be changed. However, you can create a new account and start using it with an encryption key of your choice.

Before I login via browser, the site does not show pad-lock related to SSL encryption. Is my login secure?
 

Once you enter your Username and Password, subsequent communication uses 128-bit SSL encryption for transfer including the username/password portion, and others cannot view the information as clear text. You will see the pad-lock sign once you login. However, when you just navigate to http://www.ibackup.com, the site is not secure as with almost any site on simple navigation.
