Microlite Ships Powerful BackupEDGE 2.0 Backup and Disaster Recovery Software for Linux
Tom Podnar
Corporation today announced that it has begun shipments of
BackupEDGE 2.0, the latest release of its award winning backup and
disaster recovery software for Linux. Among its many new features,
this release provides the highest possible security for archived data
by employing standards-based encryption.
"Securing computer systems and networks addresses only part of the
problem when it comes to maintaining the confidentiality of client and
patient data, and of methods, systems and business practices," said
Tom Podnar, president of Microlite Corporation. "By using the
encryption option of this product, companies can ensure that no one
can simply walk off with a backup tape or disc and read privileged
information at their leisure".
BackupEDGE 2.0 employs its own cryptographically strong random number
generator and a powerful combination of symmetric and asymmetric
algorithms to encrypt and decrypt archived data. It is completely
standards-based. Individual archives are protected by separate,
randomly generated 256 bit AES encryption keys, which are in turn
protected by a 2048 bit RSA key pair. Encryption is fully integrated
into the product and performed at the file level, providing the
following benefits...
* Only data that needs to be protected is encrypted.
* Overall performance stays high as only critical files are subject
to CPU intensive encryption.
* Full compatibility with other product features such as
verification, quick file access, and disaster recovery is
maintained.
* Each encrypted file is pre-compressed to ensure that no space is
lost due to the inability of tape hardware compression
implementations to compress encrypted data.
