It is mixed we backup the MBR in raw blocks. We back up files in Blocks or as a whole depending on the likely hood the file will be changed and the size of the file.
Yes we preserve permissions and ACLs for files.
What do we do if there are 1M changes in 100GB? It depends on where the changes are. We take a snapshot and any changes will be picked up in blocks of various sizes and only those changes are unloaded. So if most of the changes happened in 5GB then only 5GB would be uploaded. If they are spread out across the 100GB the whole 100GB could have to be uploaded.
We perform automatic updates. This is an option you can choose to opt out of.
Each user currently is its own account. We may offer group account management in the future.
We currently do not offer private key encryption. It offers no additional protection. Here it is from the website to save some typing "Private Key Encryption is a good way to protect sensitive data. In online Backup solutions not so much. There are many secure private key encryption programs some of which are open source and some that are free or both. What is wrong with Private key encryption in online backup solutions? When it is built in to online backup it defeats the purpose. You are giving the key to those intrusted (the online Backup provider) with encrypting and storing your data. This gives the uninformed a false sense of security. This is analogous to using a safe in your hotel room. You choose the combination (The password) and write it down on the safe for the cleaning staff (The backup program) to gather your valuables and place in the safe. They lock it and promise they haven't looked at the password. Most of us would never think of using a safe in a hotel room with that arangement. If you have ultra sensitive information on your PC we recommend that you use a third party application. If you have data that would cause you significant pain if it fell into the wrong hands, you should be encrypting it because unfortunately your PC could get stolen."
The technology does not do block compares. The only access to your data is through your account.
Yes, although it is not available for download yet. There is a windows pre-installation environment iso that you can use to restore or repair a disk.
Great catches on the privacy policy and terms. Those are definitely off from what I want in those documents. I will have those revised.
Thanks for the detailed post!
