Key Features
- IntellibloxTM Technology - traditional backup methods, when a file changes on your computer, the software will transmit and store the entire new file. Intronis's Intelliblox technology, the eSureIT software is able to extract changes to the file. The software sends only those changes to the Intronis servers. This helps to minimize the amount of storage space and bandwidth used on your network.
- Security and Encryption - backup files are encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption key and stored in redundant, secure data centers ensuring the safety of your data. Also, when you first install the eSureIT software, you will choose a 48 character string that is converted into a 256-bit AES encryption key and only you will have that key. Also, the key will never be stored on the Intronis servers which means that only you can access your files.

Q: Is the amount of storage space that I use calculated on a compressed or uncompressed basis?
A. The amount of storage space is calculated on a compressed basis. In other words, the storage space you are using is calculated on the amount of data that is actually sent and stored on the Intronis servers. Depending on the types of files that you are backing up, you may actually receive two or three times as much storage space than you are paying for because of compression.
Q: Will eSureIT work if I have a firewall?
A. Yes. If you have a physical firewall (hardware device), you should not have to make any changes to your firewall configurations in order for eSureIT to work properly. If you have personal firewall software, such as Norton Internet Security, Norton Personal Firewall, Blackice, ZoneAlarm, NetNanny, you must make sure that your firewall software allows the eSureIT software to pass through.

Q: What happens if I go over the amount of storage space that I have purchased?
A.

You will receive a usage email monthly, regardless of which payment plan you initially chose. You will be able to continue to backup and use the service uninterrupted.
