1) What exactly is dataSentinel?
dataSentinel is backup system, accessed through a USB
stick, that creates a fully secure backup, protecting your files
from system crashes, file corruption, or theft. It allows you
to back up your data, and keep those records secure and private,
all without any complex setup or technical expertise.
While providing this level of protection, dataSentinel also
actually increases rather than limits accessibility, so that
any authorized dataSentinel user can access
their company's files from any computer without having
to copy the files onto CDs or other storage media.
2) How do I use dataSentinel?
Once dataSentinel has been set up for your system,
you can work
with almost no sign that it is working, but are given full
protection should your computer ever be stolen or accessed
by someone other than an authorized user.
3) What can I do with dataSentinel?
You can access business data wherever you go on the
planet. It stores data securely on multiple hosted internet
servers. dataSentinel even
protects files from being accessed should you link into a file-sharing
program.
4) Do I need to install software?
No, it automatically runs on any Windows-based computer
once the USB stick is installed.
5) Where is my data stored?
While dataSentinel uses a data stick to access the data,
no files are actually stored on the stick. Data is stored on
multiple online servers, strategically located across North
America, in a very secure patent-pending format.
6) Do I need to select which files/directories
to save?
dataSentinel automatically saves files located in the
computer user's Documents and Applications folder (less pictures
and music folders), and the PST file, if required. Users can
select other folders to store, or simply drag folders into
the dataSentinel file system
7) How safe is my data?
dataSentinel stores data in a compressed, encrypted
and ultra fault-tolerant format on servers located in separate
geographies, using distributed block storage. Data is totally
secured.
8) Do I need to run a backup?
No. The nature of the dataSentinel storage method makes
backup and restore procedures redundant.
9) Where can I use the dataSentinel
USB stick?
Users can access personal or business data on any PC connected
to the internet.
10) Can I share data with friends
or colleagues?
Yes, users can share files or folders (read/write) with
clients or colleagues.
11) Can I drag and drop folders
from Windows Explorer?
Yes, users can drag and drop folders or files into the
dataSentinel directory to save them online.
12) If I lose my stick, can anyone
get at my data?
No. The USB system is password protected. Without the
user's password, the stick will not work. User can buy a new
stick, and access their data again.
13) What happens if I lose my Internet?
For performance sake, the encrypted blocks of all files
saved in the host computer are kept in a temp directory. If
the internet connection is severed, then the files can still
be accessed on the host.
14) Can anyone access or see my
data online?
No. The storage algorithm uses latest encryption and
pseudo random number generators to provide highest security.
Our block technology ensures that anything a prowler might
access, would be gibberish.
15) What happens if my computer
crashes?
You can take your dataSentinel USB stick to another
computer, plug it in, and access your data. Data is totally
protected and secure.
