Getting started can be as easy as 1-2-3.

Configuration and Setup

Our software comes fully configured and ready to use. Once downloaded and installed, simply select which files and folders you want to back up.

Multiple computers

It is easy to configure multiple PCs and/or Servers to share a single account. The computers do not have to be geographically co-located. Each computer can have its own login, preferences and configuration - all controlled by and billed to one single account.

Backing up your data

Backups are configured to run automatically at any or multiple times each day or night. Several backup sets can be configured and customized to run on different schedules. Your initial backup will compress, securely encrypt and backup every selected file to the NDT secure data center. Subsequent backups are performed incrementally - meaning only the changes made to the files are sent to NDT data servers. Incremental backups greatly reduce storage requirements and Internet bandwidth, thus optimizing backup times and server storage space.

Versioning

NDT maintains the last 30 days (extendable to 999 days) of file versions on the NDT server. After 30 days, the oldest version automatically rolls its changes into the full file backup. See the Version Window help topic for a detailed description and graphical view.

Restoring

Any of the archived file versions can be easily recovered from the NDT server through the subscriber's client interface. The file selection utility is the same for a file restore as it is for the backup operation. Simply navigate within your familiar directory structure, select the appropriate folder(s) and/or file(s) and click "Restore Now". Upon request, each file is reconstituted with all of the appropriate incremental backups and immediately and securely transported to your computer where it is decrypted, uncompressed and restored to its original (or optionally temporary) location. Our handy Restore Guide provides step-by-step assistance.

New Files: Newly created files (since the last backup) will automatically be sent to the NDT Server on the next backup operation - provided they are in a folder that is included in the backup set.

Changed Files: Updated files are backed-up using Incremental binary patching. These incremental files are compressed, encrypted, transferred and archived for 30 days (user can define period) in the NDT secure data center. After the 30 day period, the changes are automatically rolled into the full backup file. Once selected for restore, the appropriate incremental backup versions are reconstituted with the full file backup and securely transferred to the requesting computer.

Deleted Files: When you delete a file on your computer, the file (and it's corresponding versions) remain available on the NDT Server for 30 days (optionally longer). To immediately delete a file from the NDT Server, the user must delete the file using the NDT Client user interface.

Moved Files: When you move a file to a different location on your computer, it is treated as a deleted file in its original location, and a new file in the new location.
