How It Works
Step 1 :: Contact a YourNet sales representative to discuss your businesses' needs. We will then provide you with any pricing and payment term options you might require. To ensure the best installation we will ask you about your location & network configurations and figure out exactly what needs to be done to get you connected!
Step 2 :: Our sales staff then places the order with the local phone company. YourNet's 9+ years of experience dealing with phone compaines helps get the job done fast.
Step 3 :: When the phone company confirms the order with us, then we will provide you with a Service Installation Date for your line.
Step 4 :: We install your pre-configured routers and any associated hardware within three days of the actual installation of the telephone circuit. A trained YourNet engineer will verify that your Dedicated Access circuit was installed and tested by your local telephone company to make sure it is working. We provision your router by providing IP configuration for your WAN and LAN interfaces, setup your LAN IP, and configure bandwidth settings and static routings.
Step 5 :: We then contact you via email/phone to confirm the line is operational.

YourNet Remote Backup
YourNet offers and easy and secure method to backup your critical data to an offsite location, ideal for ensuring your data is never lost.
Why should I backup my data online?
Our lives are becoming increasingly dependent on the massive information storage abilities of computers. Many businesses maintain all customer records, billing and accounting information digitally. Many consumers have important information like tax records, resumés, digital photos, music and movie files stored on their computers. What would you do if you lost this information? In the majority of cases, restoring lost data from scratch is an incredibly resource-consuming task, costing upwards of thousands of dollars and 50+ hours. Backing up online allows a data recovery time of minutes rather than days... and no cost whatsoever.
Why should I choose YourNet Remote Backup?
YourNet's easy to use client software allows you to set backup schedules, control which files to backup, and easily restore data 24/7 on demand.
The YourNet Backup Client software runs on Windows only, but you can back up data on ANY operating system that Windows can see as a mapped drive. This means that you can back up Unix data, Macintosh, AS400, virtually anything that the computer running the YourNet Backup Client can access as a shared drive.
What is the difference between remote backup and backup terms I see on the internet?
There are many different names for this product, we like the phrase "Remote Backup" or "Remote Backup Service" but we have seen the same product called:
off site data backup, off site data storage, offsite backup software, offsite data backup, offsite data storage, offsite storage, online data storage, online backup, online backup service, online backup services, online backup software, online backup storage, online data backup, online data storage, online file storage, internet backup, internet file storage, internet storage
The names are different but the product is the same. The whole purpose is to automatically, backup up all of your data online, over the internet remotely.
Features
Facilities
Your data is completely safe with YourNet's advanced Data Centers.

Latest technology server hardware with multiple Terabytes of storage capacity.
Encryption
The transmission of data from your computer to YourNet's servers is completely secure and encrypted over Secure Socket Layers (SSL). The only person who can view your encrypted data is you, using your encryption key, even us at YourNet cannot view it. We support the following encryption methods:
DES (8.2 Compatible)
DES (8.3 Standard)
TDES (Triple DES)
Blowfish (Variable-Key)
AES 128-bit
AES 192-bit
AES 256-bit (highest security, slowest transfer)
Compression
Before your data is encrypted to be sent to YourNet's offsite server it is compressed with the latest compression technology available. This is done to ensure that the amount of time required to complete your backup is minimal. And with smaller files, you will use less storage space on our servers allowing you to backup even more data.
Certain file types will receive more compression than others. Files such as MP3's or JPEG's are already compressed and will receive minimal compression. Other file formats such as Word documents or databases can be compressed up to 80% (results may vary per file).
YourNet's Remote Data Backup service also uses the latest in "Bit Backup" technology. What this means is that the server uses a complex file detection algorithm to look at ONLY the parts of a file that have been changed since the last backup. Then, when you go to make a backup containing that file the server grabs only the information about that file that has changed since the last backup. This can drastically reduce the total time it takes for a successful backup and doesn't affect performance at all, perfect for files that you will be backing up frequently.
Backup Sets
Once the YourNet Remote Backup client is installed you can start choosing what you want to backup and when you want to back it up, this information is stored in backup sets. You can choose individual folders or file types that you want to back up quickly and easily. Plus, you can create multiple backup sets in the event that you want to backup certain files weekly and other files monthly (for example).
Revision Storing
YourNet's servers will NEVER overwrite a file, everytime you backup your data our server creates a new version of that file. You can restore any of these versions from the newest to the oldest if necessary. This feature can help immensely in the event that an improper file version is backed up and you need to restore an even older version.
The YourNet Backup system retains 90 days worth of file revisions. Therefore, if you change an excel file daily, you will in theory have 90 revisions of that file on our servers. This is a default setting and can only be changed by YourNet.
The YourNet Backup system will keep the most recent version of a file regardless. If we only have a single copy of a file within that time frame, that file will be retained regardless of its age until a more recent one appears at our servers.
Retrieve Files 24/7
Any backup method is only as good as it's ability to easily retrieve said backups. With YourNet's Remote Data Backup software all of your data is only a few clicks away. You can retrieve individual files or folders any time of day, or in the event of a total system failure you can restore all of your backed up files.
How YourNet Remote Backup Works
This is how YourNet Remote Backup works. After installation is complete, you will simply leave your computer on at night. YourNet Remote Backup "hides" in the background without interfering with any other program. You will notice the YourNet Remote Backup icon on the System Tray. At a predetermined time, it "wakes up" and determines which files need backing up, and what kind of backup (out of four possibilities) is scheduled for that night. It then compresses those files into archives that are often far smaller than the original files. These archives are then encrypted using an encryption key known only to you.
After your files are compressed and encrypted, YourNet Remote Backup activates your Internet connection, modem or other communications device and sends your files off-site to YourNet's storage facility. YourNet Remote Backup then verifies your files and goes back to sleep.
Your valuable computer files are now safe off-site. If your building burns, or your computer is stolen, your business can be saved by replacing your equipment and restoring your files from the YourNet server.
Download Client Software
Once you have decided on any pricing / storage limit options, you can download the client software. During installation you will be prompted to create an encryption key code. Make sure to store this key in a safe place, it is the only way to access your backup account!
Create Backup Sets
Backup sets are simply combinations of the files / folders you want to backup and the schedule that these files will be backed up at. You can choose to backup certain file types or select individual folders on your local machine to backup. Multiple backup sets can be created in the event that you have different groups of data that you want backed up at different intervals.
Backups Start Automatically
Once you have established the backup schedule, as long as your computer is on and functioning the software will automatically start up at this pre-determined time. While backups are typically scheduled to occur at night when the computer would experience the least amount of traffic, you can choose to set them to happen during the day as it won't affect your computers performance or ability to use the internet at all.
Your Computer is Scanned
When a backup is initiated your computer is first scanned for any files that have changed or been added since your last update. Only these new or updated files are added to the list of what needs to be backed up. This minimizes the amount of time a successful backup session will take.
Your Data is Compressed
Once your computer has been scanned and the YourNet Remote Backup software has compiled it's list of files that will need to be backed up, it is then compressed down using the latest in compression technology. This helps to minimize not only the transfer time of the backup, but also the amount of storage space you'll be using on the YourNet offsite servers.
Your Data is Encrypted
After your data has been compressed, it is encrypted using your personal encryption key. This encryption key is stored only on your computer, it will not be stored on our servers, and is not transmitted over the internet, thus ensuring the highest level of security possible for your data.
Data Sent Securely Over the Internet
For additional security, your data is then transmitted over a secure channel on the internet using Secure Socket Layers (SSL) technology. This is the same technology used on every banking and commerce site online today.
Data Stored in YourNet's Data Centers
Your data is then stored in YourNet's Data Centers with 24/7 monitoring, experienced server technicians on staff, multiple power systems, temperature control, and fiber optic connectivity to the internet.
Retrieve Files 24/7
Any backup method is only as good as it's ability to easily retrieve said backups. With YourNet's Remote Data Backup software all of your data is only a few clicks away. You can retrieve individual files or folders any time of day, or in the event of a total system failure you can restore all of your backed up files.
