Not maintaining a regular backup of your individual data? You will, once you loose it! But, if you don't want that situation to come up, then try online data backup tools.

We tell you about one of them called rBak, which is a paid service. It encrypts your backed up data for better security.

The software offers a backup scheduler, so you can set your data for automatic periodic backups. One of the main worries in online backup is insufficient bandwidth for data backup.

For that, rBak uses what's called FastBIT technology to speed up the overall backup time. You can access your data 24x7 over the Internet and it can store multiple versions of files.

The user interface consists of a main screen with 3 tabs for Backup, Restore and checking Logs, alongwith a number of file settings. For backup, select files and click 'backup now'	For restoring, select files and click 'restore now'. You can copy the files either to the original location or to a temporary folder of your choice

You can schedule your backups for daily, weekly, monthly, or on Windows shutdown/logoff basis. Use the schedule backup wizard	The software provides an option for defining your own secret key for encryption. By default it uses your password as the secret key

Using it is fairly easy. It gives you a Windows Explorer like tool using which you can start your backup and restore procedures. Choose the files for backup, set the schedule and you are ready to go.
