Once the user has configured their tailored backup set or sets and scheduled a start time, datahive will automatically analise all the specified files, compress, error check and encrypt them prior to sending them via a secure internet connection (128k Secure Socket Layer - SSL) to our primary and replication off-site backup servers.

After the initial backup, subsequent backups will only store files, which are new or have been updated since the last backup.

All users files are secured by using a 128k encryption algorithm and a user defined encrypting key, which means that data transmitted and stored is in a format totally meaningless to everyone except the user themselves.



Data can be restored to any computer with an Internet connection. Irrespective if the computer has the datahive Backup Manager installed, files can be downloaded through the restore screen, or if the Backup Manager is not present, files can be restored directly from our Off-Site Backup Servers by logging in via the 'Subscribers Login', link found on all pages of our website (see above).


In both instances you will be required to enter your login username and encrypted password to access the facilities as well as your encrypting key to authorise the restore. Without these your files cannot be accessed or restored.
