UFC’s backup service keeps an unlimited version history of all your files – allowing you to roll back to any version of any of your files. Use our time machine feature to go back to the date you want to restore your backup and recover that snapshot of files & versions, for example, your tax records as at April 14 last year.

Engage Live Protect TM UFC’s Continuous Data Protection module to have UFC back up files as soon as a change is detected. You change a file, and we’ll back it up instantly.

Chances are you have at least 20 to 30 GB of data to backup. Over the wire, that can literally take weeks. UFC’s exclusive PMU technology lets you “seed” your backup by sending your encrypted data on a DVD. Alternatively we can send you a hard disk overnight and you can copy your backup to that disk. After that, just the binary that are changed will be transferred, meaning your daily backup takes just minutes.

UFC lets you backup as many computers as you like using one account. Over 60% of households have more than one computer and UFC allows you to protect and recover from all of your machines unlike our competitors. Backup your home, office and laptop computers all on one account for easy access to ALL your files from anywhere.

The UFC system ensures complete privacy protection. UFC uses a three-tiered encryption system which encrypts data on the user’s computer, again in transit and finally when at rest in storage. Users can also opt to use UFC UltraSafeTM which means that not even the UFC’s engineers can view the data stored on the UFC servers. Only the user who put it there can ever access the data. This stands in contrast to most other online backup systems, where data is neither encrypted on your client, nor stored as encrypted data so as to prevent employees of the software vendor from accessing stored data.

The UFC compression system only backs up changed files and then only the changed 1’s and 0’s are transferred. On a 500 MB database (MYOB/Intuit/Turbo Tax) the daily transfer can be as small as 5 KB. Our transfer system is enterprise grade, meaning that large file transfers are resumed at the KB of interruption, and do not start at the beginning like most online backup systems.

Unlike other online backup systems, we do not delete the file from your backup just because you delete the file from your computer. Other companies call this “archiving” and refuse to do it. If you delete your local file, they remove it from your online backup storage. We call it “proper backup”. Over 80% of data loss occurs due to accidental deletion. With UFC you can be rest assured that we keep every version of every file forever, until you tell us to remove it.

To help you backup precisely what you want to, tell UFC Online Backup to watch your My Documents folder but to ignore all *.mp3’s and *.avi’s. Alternatively you can tell UFC to only protect *.doc, and *.xls. Either use our pre-sets or set your own inclusion/exclusion mask.

It is possible to schedule monthly, weekly, daily, hourly or perform an instant backup. Other online backup systems run constantly, taking up valuable CPU and RAM system resources. UFC in contrast only runs when you schedule it, keeping you safe without impacting your system performance.

From inside the UFC My Account portal you can share your files with anyone with an email address. Never have a large attachment bounce again. Just share your already backedup data with your friends and colleagues. Or if you are a home user – easily share photos or videos.

Because your data is being backed up daily to the UFC Backup Server Grid – you can access your data anywhere in the world using just a web-browser. Never be without that critical file again.
