 Your files are ALWAYS safe.

Encryption |
AIS encrypts each file using 256-bit AES
encryption technology. When you first install and
configure the AIS software, you will choose a 32
character string that will then be converted into a 256 bit
encryption key. Only you will have this encryption key. It
will never be transmitted over the Internet and it is never
stored on our servers. This means that only you can access
your files. Each file that you backup is encrypted using
this key and remains encrypted until you restore it and it
returns to your computer.
How strong is 256-bit AES encryption?
Well, let's put it this way. In June 2003, 256-AES was
approved by the United State's National Security Agency (NSA)
for use encrypting the U.S. government's documents
classified "TOP SECRET."

Transmission |
In addition, the AIS software communicates with the Advanced Info Storage servers using SSL (Secure Socket Layers) technology. This is the same encryption technology used by Internet browsers when a user enters a secured site such as an online bank. As a result, your data is encrypted twice. It is encrypted at all times using the 256-bit AES encryption, and it is encrypted again while it’s being sent over the Internet.

Storage |
Your data is stored (in encrypted form) in two secure data centers, located hundreds of miles apart
from each other. Each data center has 24/7 monitoring and advanced security measures such as biometric controlled access as well as backup generators and redundant connections to the Internet
