After you sign up for an ArgentVault online backup service account, we will install the software onto your computer or server and set up a nightly backup schedule.

From then on, backups will start automatically.

When a backup starts, your hard drive is first scanned for any files that are new or have changed since your last backup. Only these files need to be transmitted, minimizing the time it takes to perform a backup as well as bandwidth.

Once the ArgentVault software identifies a file that needs to be backed up, it compresses the file using industry leading compression technology.

After being compressed, each file is individually encrypted using your unique 256 bit encryption key. Because your encryption key is stored only on your computer and is never transmitted over the Internet, no one but you ever has access to your files.

For added security, each encrypted file is then sent over the Internet via a secure channel using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

All of your files are sent to two secure data centers, located hundreds of miles apart from each other. Each data center has 24/7 monitoring, advanced security, backup generators and redundant connections to the Internet.

With ArgentVault, restoring files can be done in just a few clicks of the mouse. We have the ability to retrieve your files at any time and as often as you need.

How secure is your data? Do you consistently backup? Every day? Once a week? Once a month? Is your backup stored offsite? Even worse, is your backup stored onsite? If you experience a fire, flood or theft, is your backup really safe?

Now thanks to ArgentVault from Argent Consulting, you can ensure all your data is safe and secure with the same type of protection that only Fortune 500 companies previously enjoyed.

With ArgentVault, your data is always safe. Your files are encrypted using state-of-the-art, 256 bit AES encryption and stored in redundant, secure data centers located hundreds of miles apart from each other.

Do you have certain files that you constantly update? Ever wish you could go back to last Monday’s version? With ArgentVault, you can. ArgentVault can store multiple versions of the same file.
