DDS Online Backup Manager (DDS OBM)
Dynamic Digital Solutions Backup Manager (DDS OBM) is designed as a multi-platform,
reliable and secure application for backing up all of your environments. DDS OBM
takes out the element of human error by sending your data to us at predetermined
times over secure links via the internet.
One of the ways in which DDS OBM is unique is that it has been programmed so that
it only takes a backup that is incremental i.e. It will only retrieve the data that
has changed. This method we call In-file Delta which drastically changes the way
backups are done. Data coherence is an integral part of any business and we have
taken every measure to make sure that the company/client is safe and secure, on
completion of the sofware installation the company/client will be instructed to
enter a password with which to encrypt (128 bit) and decrypt thier
data. This password also has 128 bit embedded encryption, thus
DDS specialists have no access to this information without the use of that specific
password.
From conception Dynamic Digital Solutions knew that it had to create an application
that would span all working environments, and our R&D team has taken great strides
in bringing you a product that will work on any operating system and backup any
and all open files.
What our countries infrastructure lacks, Dynamic Digital Solutions makes up in service.
As a result of our poor yet improving, telecommunications network in South Africa
seeding (initial data upload) large amounts of data over copper would take
an enourmous amount of time and money however DDS has readily available technicians
to physically service your seeding requirements.
Here
is a brief illustration of how DDS OBM works:
In our corporate environment we understand that competition inspires progress
and thus our DDS Specialists will setup a free 7 day Assessment Period at your convenience
for the company/client to test our award winning software. A DDS Representative
will contact you and facilitate the entire process, from installation, configuration
and seeding.

DDS Lite is a compact, refined and easy to use backup application. We have taken
the additional options out of the package for the end user, providing a lightweight
platform that can be setup in seconds. Essentially if the end user has access to
an internet connection he/she will be able to contact thier data from
anywhere across the country. This application is unequaled for the user is who is
on-the-go.
Due to the
(128 bit) encryption methods in the application,
your information is as secure as your bank account. DDS maintains no access to your
information other than to transport it along world class security channels. DDS
Lite, like all of our software is platform independant. If you are apprehensive
about the integrity of your information then this product will help you find the
security that will bring you peace of mind.

Setting up data backup, recovery and retention policies is the only way to prevent
disaster from happening, this we call an
N+1 redundancy strategy, which will ensure
your business continuity. Governments around the world have started imposing regulations
to ensure safe data retention in businesses so as to protect public interest. Although
your industry may not be affected at the moment, it is wise to be ahead of the curve.
