Data and filenames encrypted

Need a secure cloud / online / offsite / remote backup solution for backing up your VMware ESX / ESXi? CloudBacko is your ultimate choice. It is the only backup solution that can encrypt everything with a 256-bit truly randomized key, including all the data and filenames. No one, not even NSA, is able to open your backed up VMs on the cloud. It's because with our truly randomized encryption:

Your data are encrypted to the maximum extent
No lazy encrypting keys such as "abc123" or "123456" will be used
Simply unbreakable, as even a 10.51 Pentaflops supercomputer needs 3.31 x 1056 years to crack such key

Data loss prevention by multi-destination cloud / local backup

Need to keep multiple copies of your VM backup at different local and cloud locations to prevent data loss disaster from happening? CloudBacko can do it by concurrently or sequentially backing up your VM to multiple destinations, including Aliyun, Amazon S3, China Telecom CTYun, AWS compatible storages, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Microsoft Azure, Dropbox, FTP/SFTP sites, external USB drive, and local/mapped network drives.
