“Note that only YOU have access to your data. RDB uses an encryption system to ensure that only the person with the correct password key can read the stored data. Remote Data Backups does not have copies of your password.”

Bank-Level AES Encryption

Your files are securely transmitted, stored and retrieved using government- and bank-level 128-bit AES ecryption.

If someone were to somehow intercept your data during a backup or restore, or gain access to our servers (which, of course, has never happened), it still take multiple supercomputers decades to decipher any of your data.

Advantages of encrypted backups

It would be far easier for someone to steal your local backups (tape , CD-DVD, Zip/Jaz) than to intercept and decrypt your encrypted offsite data.
Local backups containing your sensitive data are rarely encrypted or even protected by a simple password.
Disgruntled employees, competitors, hackers, thieves, curious people who find lost tapes, etc. all jeapardize the safety of unencrypted backups. Backup tapes are pocket-size, so you might not even notice they are gone.

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) determined that 128-bit AES is secure enough to protect U.S. Government classified information up to the TOP SECRET level.

How Secure is 128-Bit AES Encryption?

If a super-computer could break the DES code in one second, it would take the same supercomputer 149 trillion years to decode a 128-bit AES key - longer than the existence of our universe.

It is safe to say no supercomputer in the foreseeable future will be able to brute-force AES 128 bit. As long as no one finds your encryption phrase, your encrypted data can never be deciphered.
