 What does it backup and not backup?   

   You just specify Drives and/or Directories and by default, everything but obvious
   known temporary files are backed up. You can further specify files, file types and
   directories to be ignored.

  How many backup archives are   
stored online?   

   The usual backup scheme is to have:
      1 Complete Backup
      6 Daily Backups - of changed/deleted files
      3 Weekly Backups - a week of Daily Backups combined
      1 or more Monthly backups - 4 Weekly Backups combined

Where does it back up to?   

   To our own fully secured Servers.

How long does it take?   

   This depends on several factors:
      Total no. of files, their sizes and frequency of use.
      The speed of the PC or Server Vigilance runs on
      Your Internet connection speed
   Typically though, it only takes 1 to 2 hours per night.

How do I retrieve files?   

   Very easily. We give you a unique web address, login and password.
   Using your browser or an FTP client program, you then just download any files you        need, whenever you want (see our Demo Site).
   We can also provide the files on CD/DVDs. (Note: charges apply for these).

Why is it better than a Tape Streamer?   

   A full Tape Streamer + Backup Software + Tapes can easily cost over £1,000.
   The Tapes need regular replacing.
   The Software is complicated. Somebody needs to monitor it and change tapes
      daily, then to take them off-site.
   Vigilance is FULLY automated, updates are free.

How much does it cost?   

   A small monthly fee which includes ongoing software updates, monitoring, etc.
   See Prices.

On-Site Requirements:   

   A non-dedicated Windows PC connected to your network and the Internet
   with 400Mhz processor, or better.
