BuddyBackup lets you back up your files to your friends, family and colleagues' computers for free. This means you get safe and secure online and "off-site" backups of your data without having to pay a third party company.
Your files are constantly monitored for changes. When BuddyBackup sees a changed file, it takes a snapshot of it. This is done efficiently using an advanced system which means that only the changes within a file are saved. The technical term for this process is Binary Incremental Backup. For example, if you add a few paragraphs to a large Word document and save, only those changes are saved.
he next step is that your files are encrypted (made secret). This is done before sending on the internet which means that no else can read your files, not even your buddies! So, you're the only one that can get back your files and use them. BuddyBackup sends the updated files to your buddies over the internet. Remember that only changes within your files are sent (see above).
BuddyBackup uses advanced Peer-to-Peer technology to ensure you can connect even if your buddies are behind a firewall or router. If no buddy is currently online, BuddyBackup will keep track of the changes and back them up later.
