Hardware Requirements

The Backup Client is designed to work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 2008 Server.

Though backups work best on a high speed Internet connection, many customers are happily doing backups on dial-up or accelerated dial connections.

Our software has been tested to work on the minimum configuration recommended by Microsoft for each version of Windows. If you are happy with the performance of your system today, the backup will not degrade your performance.

The backup software was also designed to be compatible with home and office hardware firewalls. To a firewall it just looks like a web browser. If your PC can surf the web, you should have no trouble using our backup service.

Tech Note: The web portal uses HTTP and HTTPS on ports 80 and 443. The backup client uses a proprietary protocol that looks to a firewall like SSL on port 443.
