    Thank you Charles for the review. One correction that I would like to make is "the data transfer is done via a SSL link." SOS Online Backup uses three layers of encryption to protect your data while transferring over the Internet. Before the data leaves the local drive, it is encrypted using 256 bit AES encryption. AES is the US Department of Defense’s standard for encryption. It is then compressed using a proprietary compression tool. It is then sent via a 128 bit encrypted SSL link. Since the session packets are only the digital differences of the changed files from one day to another, they are unintelligible without the original file. Upon arriving at the data centre, the packet is compared to the original file, encrypted yet again and filed away under its version number and date stamp.
