BENEFIT |
Unlimited backup from multiple devices |
Backup data from your desktop and laptop computers, external hard drives, or network storage devices. |
All your data, files, customer records, and database records from any computer, drive or device are kept in one central place - with no storage limits. |
Automated, continuous backup |
Configure your Backups to run whenever and however you want - hourly, daily, or continuously. |
You're busy - and shouldn't be expected to remember to manually setup your Backups. Schedule your back up rules once, and experience peace of mind going forward that your files are safe and protected. |
Remote access |
Access your ElephantDrive files from any computer at any time, by logging into your account at ElephantDrive.com. |
You have quick and easy access any time you need your files – whether you’re at an important business meeting, travelling, or just simply away from your desk. |
Incremental backups |
Our system is designed to recognize only newly created or modified files each time you run a backup. |
You don't need to waste time waiting on a system that re-backs up your files and folders each time you run a job. An incremental backup system is efficient and quick. |
File archiving |
ElephantDrive doesn't simply mirror your hard drive - we archive all your data. Files that are backed up are preserved and accessible forever. |
You no longer need to suffer the consequences of human error or data loss disasters. |
Mapped drive |
You can map your ElephantDrive account to your hard drive, which will show up as a new lettered drive and give you access to your files directly from your hard drive. Learn more. |
Conveniently access all your backed up files without having to sign into our desktop application or the website. |
Storage |
Delete already backed up files from your hard drive, and they will be maintained and stored in your account. You can also upload and store files to your account on an ad-hoc basis. |
You can free up space on your hard drive and have a safe and convenient place to store all your important files. |
Encryption and data security |
Files are encrypted with military-grade AES encryption using an 256-bit key. |
You can rest assured knowing that your data is backed up and stored under the highest standards of data protection and security. |
Compliance |
Automated, continuous data protection of your business records serves as a de facto business continuity plan. |
Our system allows you to easily conform to a variety of third party compliance regulations such as HIPAA and Corporate Governance. |
Open/in-use/locked file backup |
We make use of MS Windows Volume Shadow Copy service to backup files that are open or in use. |
In the event of hard drive failure or other disaster while you are using your machine - your files will be protected. |
File sharing |
Share files and information with your colleagues, clients, or customers. |
Recipients can easily access and store shared files in their own ElephantDrive account. |
Workgroup sub-accounts |
A Workgroup sub-account is essentially a distinct set of login credentials to the same account as its parent, allowing each user to access the same information. |
Workgroup sub-accounts are ideal if you need multiple logins to the same account, but data security between the administrator and sub-accounts is not an issue. In the event of employee turnover, sub-account login credentials are easily deleted - ensuring that only people who should access your files can. |
Independent sub-accounts |
Independent sub-accounts are free-standing accounts that can be managed by an administrator but do not have access to any objects in the parent account, unless those files or folders are being shared with them through the sharing process. |
Independent sub-accounts are ideal if you need storage, access, or protection for multiple different users, but would like to maintain separate storage space between administrator and sub-accounts. Perfect for managing data across different divisions of your business. |
