Full name: Highly realible data preservation service - WWB
Department: Department of Network Security and Internet Technologies
Start date: 2001. 07. 27.

Description

The service provides more reliable storage than usual backup solutions by storing data at several geographically separated places parallelly. This solution ensures extended security against such - not computer related - risks as natural/technological disasters (earthquakes, floods, fire, explosion, damage of buildings), willful damage, and human faults.

This secure method of data storage makes it possible to provide value based insurance of data as an additional service. In this case the client can claim compensation, should the data be destroyed.

At such service logging of the data exchange between the client and the provider is a must. This is achieved by using digitally signed messages, so that arguments can be settled easily.
