How the Service Works

A web-based control center is used to define backup jobs and
retention policies

Agent software is installed on servers, desktops and notebooks

Backup jobs are assigned to the agents

Backup protection is then automatically maintained
Agents upload protected data to our backup servers
Data is retained according to policies set by the customer

The control center or a desktop GUI is used to restore data

Example Data Storage Comparison

Assumptions
Retention Policy
10GB original data Daily: 7 copies for 7 days
50% compression Weekly: 5 copies for 31 days
Monthly: 12 copies for 365 days
2% daily change rate
TOTAL: 24 copies

Legacy Backup Software XO Managed Backup
Seed
Full backups run daily 10GB 50% compressed = 5GB
Deltas
Totals
2% of 10GB = 200MB
10GB x 24 = 240 GB
50% compressed = 100MB
Totals
23 x 100MB + 5GB = 7.3 GB

240GB vs. 7.3GB
20

Application Security Measures

Centralized administration and assignment of rights
Precise control of access privileges
End-to-end data encryption based on the customer’s choice
56-bit Blowfish, 56-bit DES, 112-bit Triple-DES, 128-bit Blowfish,128-bit AES and
256-bit AES encryption
Secure keys
The customer is the sole owner of the encryption key – even XO cannot access
the data
Additional Encryption
XO DeltaPro is a self-encrypting process that adds an additional level of security

Pricing

22

When is a Gigabyte not a Gigabyte?

Lower-end services quote prices for “natural” GBs
The data footprint on the customer’s systems
Fixed, pre-defined data backup and retention policies
OK for consumers and smaller businesses with basic requirements
Our prices are based on “compressed” GBs
The data footprint on our backup servers after data is compressed, de-duplicated
and processed by some very elegant “delta” technology
Tailored, customer-defined data backup and retention policies
Perfect for businesses with serious data protection requirements
A rule of thumb is that one compressed GB is equivalent to two
natural GBs

23

Pricing

Windows and Linux platform agents are provided at no charge. Advanced
platform agents and application plug-ins have one-time license fees.
