Encryption keys - Should your vendor keep a copy? - By: do@fullcircledata.com on December 13, 2008

A major dilemma faced by many users concerning encryption keys is whether or not your vendor should have a copy of your keys. On one hand, if your vendor has a copy of your keys, they may be able to help you recover your encrypted data if you ever lost the required keys. On the other hand, any other party that has your keys, or can get your keys from that other party, has access to your data, too!

My personal feeling on the matter is that if you are comfortable with others having access to your data, there really is no reason to encrypt the data in the first place.

However, should you feel that you data is valuable or sensitive enough to encrypt, then you should safeguard your keys yourself, and not trust anyone else with your keys. One simple method is to write down the keys and other important password(s) on a sheet of paper and store that sheet of paper in a safety deposit box at your bank.

What is a backup? - By: do@fullcircledata.com on November 15, 2008

In its simplest form, a backup is a copy of your files to a different media or location. For years people have backed up their files by manually copying them to a different media such as floppy, tape, CD, DVD, external drive and network location(s). This is a reliable way to keep valuable information safe, especially if the media is stored away from the computer. However, it takes discipline to manually create backups on a regular schedule and verify that the information on the backup is correct. Plus it can be time consuming to manage the whole thing. This is why specialized software was created to automate these tasks, and ensure the integrity of the data. Our commercial quality software Backup Manager is designed to provide a turn-key professional secure backup solution that is both easy to implement, and cost effective.
