Genie Mail Backup includes this feature making it more flexible and versatile than ever before. Genie Online Backup enables its users’ to backup their personal documents and folders anytime and anywhere using the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to ensure sensitive data is transmitted securely. In addition to providing its subscribed clients an online backup service, it also provides online storage via “Genie Drive”. This unique service allows its clients to upload files of any type.

· Security Options:
Zip password protection
AES Encryption (128-bit): Security is a major concern when storing data. When using Genie Mail Backup your data is secure as it uses AES encryption to protect backed up data from prying eyes. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is the extensively-studied and widely-used block-cipher. AES has been adopted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as US FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) PUB 197. AES is being deployed on a large scale across governmental departments and other organizations worldwide to protect sensitive information.

· Managing open files:
Genie Mail Backup ensures business continuity of all their mission critical data, by backing up files even if opened or used by other users or applications; leveraging Microsofts latest Volume Shadow-Copy Service (VSS) framework, to permit consistent backup of open files without the need for additional applications or plug-ins.

· Cataloging:
The catalog is a library containing a history of backup jobs and the files contained in each backup run. With this feature users can keep track of file versions and runs, and view and extract files directly from the backup set without going through the restore wizard.

· Self executable backup sets:
Genie Mail Backup offers users a feature called SwiftRestore that enables them to restore their backed up data to any machine regardless of whether Genie Mail Backup is installed on it.

· Scheduling unattended backup tasks:
Backing up data can take a lot of time depending on the size of the data intended for backup, during which time a large part of the machines resources are consumed. To avoid interrupting work or slowing down the machine while it is being actively used, users can schedule unattended backup tasks to run at times that guarantee no interruptions to their work. Scheduling also serves as a way to ensure that the data is being backed up on a regular basis without user interaction.

· Backup with or without compression:
Genie Mail Backup allows users to choose between having backed up data uncompressed, and space consuming, or choosing from any one of 9-levels of compression. With compression a user can save space on a storage quota, thanks to our enhanced 64-bit archiving zip engine. This also enables backup files as large as 8 Terra Bytes (8TB).

· Backup Summary:
The backup summary is a new feature in Genie Mail Backup; showing the status of your last backup run, prompting you to run it again if you wish or simply viewing its logs. This makes it easier for you to track down and analyze backup runs.

· Email Notification of Performed Backups:
E-mail notification is a nifty feature that enables Genie Mail Backup to send to the user information about the status of the performed backup upon its completion.
If you are someone who is always on the move, and if you have scheduled backup jobs to run while you are away, Genie Mail Backup’s email notification feature will notify you of any backup job problems.

· Data integrity testing:
Genie Mail Backup can test the integrity of backed up data to ensure it can be reliably restored. The integrity test involves reading every byte in the backup set in a way that simulates restore.

Genie Mail Backup gives you the ability to delete old backup jobs depending on the number of runs or the time period specified. And also rotate provides automatic rotation between Full and Incremental backups
