On Site and Off-Site Backup Solutions

The Easiest, Fastest, and Safest Way to Reliably Backup all of Your Important Information

Never Worry About Losing Critical Data Again. TEKEASE Rescue is an automated data backup and restore system providing powerful tools to protect your organization’s data. Unlike traditional data protection tools, TEKEASE Rescue does not require any human assistance beyond the initial installation and setup. There is no media to install, remove, protect, or replace. TEKEASE Rescue is highly secure and only you have access to your data. TEKEASE Rescue protects you from silent data corruption. TEKEASE Rescue is simple, safe, and secure! Your valuable data is encrypted and stored at an TEKEASE Rescue secure data center. Without your password and pass phrase, no one else can read or use your confidential information. Not even the staff at TEKEASE Rescue.

How Does TEKEASE Rescue Work?

Install a small TEKEASE Rescue client software application on your computer to manage all of your data protection and restoration. After you easily identify what data you want to protect, TEKEASE Rescue encrypts and compresses this data and then transfers a master copy to our data center. During the 10-minute setup you will be asked to choose a password and a passphrase. The password protects access to your account and the pass phrase protects your data. The pass phrase uniquely configures the AES 256-bit encryption algorithm, approved by the NSA for encrypting TOP SECRET data. Each time you change a file, TEKEASE Rescue detects the changes, encrypts these changes, and sends only the changes to a data center to be stored with the master copy of your file. Unlike our competition, you determine what files and folders to backup and you can set different retention policies on a per-folder, per-file, or per-file-pattern basis. TEKEASE Rescue does not care if the file is located on your computer or somewhere else on your network. You just point and shoot and TEKEASE Rescue does the rest. Our easy-to-use system lets you decide how often to backup and how many previous versions of your data to keep. Because only the changes or deltas of your data are stored, very small amounts of storage are used to maintain many versions. You can even ask TEKEASE Rescue to help you when data is destroyed by mistake. TEKEASE Rescue will maintain copies of files you have deleted for the period of time you determine, preventing accidental deletions. This valuable tool will come in very handy one day, guaranteed.

How Does TEKEASE Rescue Restore My Data?

• The TEKEASE Rescue client has all the capabilities to restore your data when and where you want it. You simply launch the TEKEASE Rescue Restore Wizard and follow the simple yet powerful wizard. Point and click to choose what to restore in an explorer-style interface. Choose to restore the current version of your data or perform a point-in-time restore simply by selecting the date. Data can be restored to their original locations or to an alternate location.
• When restoring, choose to restore from either your local backups or the remote backups from an easy drop down menu. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your data can be restored lightning fast from your local backups after minor emergencies, but that your data is also safely stored off-site after real disasters. You get the benefits of both worlds, all for the same price!

Why Choose TEKEASE Rescue Over Other Backup Services?

There are many providers to choose from. Here are six good reasons to choose TEKEASE Rescue:

• Extreme Reliability: The fact is that computers are unreliable. We built our software expecting things to fail and to do everything possible to automatically recover. For example, if your Internet connection is down for 4 hours during the night while your ISP does maintenance – no problem, TEKEASE Rescue automatically recovers even in the middle of 20GB files and only raises errors on permanent failures. On the go with a laptop that is always on and off? No problem, TEKEASE Rescue pauses and resumes are you come and go. We regularly analyze failed backups and add auto-correction logic to work around common network and operating system problems. We overprovision our data centers and most components have a 2N fault tolerance level instead of just N+1. TEKEASE Rescue just works, our customers know it, and that’s why they love it.
• Superior Data Integrity: We not only provide information confidentiality (through encryption), we also provide data integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation (proof of the integrity and origin of your data).
• With the backup service you are considering, what guarantees do you have about the data that is restored? How much would it cost your business if some bits or a few data blocks were corrupted in some financial data that you restored? Most backup services will talk about encryption to no end, but encryption is only one piece of information security—confidentiality. Another critically important piece in information security is data integrity, as well as authenticity and non-repudiation. The fact is, if you’re a world-class online backup provider and storing petabytes of information, you have to expect to encounter silent data corruption and you have to design your systems to detect and automatically correct it (search the Internet for “silent data corruption”). Think that silent data corruption doesn’t happen with enterprise systems and cloud storage? Search the Internet for: silent data corruption cloud. Think that it doesn’t happen with online backup providers? Search the Internet for: online backup “lost data.”

If an online backup provider doesn’t specifically address the silent data corruption problem and address it at every level of their system, your data is not safe. We have designed our system from the very beginning to provide the ultimate in protection. There are multiple checksums continually verifying the integrity of the data from the moment it is read from disk in the backup client, as it passes through the encrypted network connection, in our servers memory, as it passes through down to the OS, through the hardware firmware, and finally onto the disk platters. Additionally we keep a 256-bit block checksum on-disk and verify the integrity of the data every time the block is read and periodically on a monthly basis. If any silent data corruption is detected, then we utilize the other copies of the data to instantly and automatically repair the silent data corruption. We are so confident in our data integrity assurance mechanisms, that we digitally sign every 2kb data block with a 256-bit digital signature, tied to your encryption key. This guarantees to the person restoring the data that the 2kb data block is 100% intact as it was backed up and also guarantees that the data block has not been altered. We invite you to ask other online backup providers the questions in our data integrity whitepaper, to see if they have provided the data integrity protection measures that we provide.

• Reverse Block-level Deltas: Provides superior data integrity (the integrity of the entire current version is verified every time a file is changed) and superior efficiency for data retention (use of 2kb blocks provides up to 40% space savings over solutions with larger block sizes).
• Secure Pass Phrase Recovery: Only at TEKEASE Rescue – our proprietary two-party pass phrase recovery system allows one to securely escrow their pass phrase with TEKEASE Rescue, protected by the user’s answers to several security questions and our 3072-bit private key. To recover, both TEKEASE Rescue and the user must cooperate, and at the end of the process, only the user has access to the recovered pass phrase. (Use is optional for customers that prefer not to use it.)
• Most providers either will store the user’s pass phrase themselves or require the user to manage it themselves. Our unique system allows a user gain the benefits of both – the security of keeping the private key completely to themselves, but the safety of being able to recover it if they need to. It’s like the 2-key system in nuclear silos… both parties have to cooperate in order for something to happen, and the keys are kept in separate places controlled by different people in different organizations.
• Unified Local and Remote Backups: Perform encrypted local backups to external hard drives or aggregate local backups to any NAS or SAN with just a couple of extra clicks. You can backup a lot more data locally than you do remotely if you choose to do so. TEKEASE Rescue can even be used solely for local-only backups if the customer is not ready for remote backups. Local backups enjoy all features of remote backups, including reverse block-level deltas, unlimited historical versioning.
• Email Archiving and Mailbox Storage Management: Control overflowing inboxes, meet legal compliance requirements, optimize Exchange server performance, and provide one-click message restores for users within Outlook for all of their email. Our technology allows you to take old or large content out of Exchange and into the archive, dedup it, and provide single-click access to archived content. All emails, contacts, appointments, etc., are readily available for searching or restoring (at the message level) in the case of accidental deletion or corruption.
