CSSi Remote Backup works basically like regular tape backup, with one important difference. Instead of sending backups to a tape drive or other media attached to the computer it is backing up, a CSSi Remote Backup sends it over the Internet (or modems and phone lines) to another computer safely off-site. It does this (usually) at night while the business is closed and nobody is using the computers. It's completely automatic and all the data is encrypted with your choice of encryption methods (DES, 3DES, AES, and many others). CSSi backup servers are hosted in hardened facilities behind Symantec Enterprise Firewalls for the ultimate in data security.
