Offsiter
-
Version
1.21
Offsiter is an archiving application that compresses
files and sends them encrypted to offsite e-mail
accounts. Such offsite storage offers far greater
security than conventional storage mechanisms such as
CD ROM, tapes, and hard drives, all of which are prone
to theft or damage. You can use any e-mail account,
including the free ones provided by Yahoo, Microsoft,
and Google.
You can create the compressed archives using Offsiter
or any other compression application. However,
Offsiter does offer you the rare option of archiving
only those files that have changed since the last
archive was created. This drastically reduces the
size of subsequent archives.
When the archive is sent to an e-mail account, it is
divided into separate e-mail attachments so that the
provider's size limit for e-mails is not breached.
Each attachment is encrypted to prevent hackers
gaining access to your files by intercepting them
during sending or by breaking into your e-mail account.
If you need to recover an archive, simply download the
original sent attachments to your computer and use
Offsiter to decrypt and merge them to recreate the
original archive.
