Support Services: Connected DataProtector Backup Client

For a fee, DLS clients can have the Connected DataProtector Backup Client installed onto the computer hard drive by DLS technicians.

Connected DataProtector is a backup software application that is set to run automatically every day on your computer in the background eliminating the need to run a manual backup.

An Agent is installed on the end user's computer hard drive. This Agent is configured to both backup data files to, and to retrieve files from, the UIS Data Center.

The Agent has security features that ensure user's files cannot be intercepted and decoded while being transmitted between the computer and Data Center. Other Agent safeguards prevent end users from retrieving files from other accounts that they are not authorized to access.
