4th Wall Data Security

Never lose another document again. Ever... Online Backup ushers in a new age in data protection and file recovery. You can rest assured - knowing that even if the worst were to occur - the lifeblood of your business, your data, is Safe Off Site.

4th Wall provides data-protection for customers, whether they are SMEs, SOHOs, professionals at home, students, or anyone with electronic files to be protected from data-loss.
SOS Online Backup brings big-business IT-best-practice to small businesses and consumers.

The 4th Wall service is delivered through a downloaded software program installed on the end-user’s computer. The user then tells the program what files to protect, and each session, at a configured time, (or instantaneously at the option of the user) it then backs up any files that have changed, or been added, since the previous backup. Files are backed up to a global network of datacenters powered by proprietary Server and InfiniScale technologies. Data is compressed using proprietary ShrinkRAP delta compression – dramatically reducing bandwidth consumption. It is this performance enhancement that forms the core of the 4th Wall designed strategy, and gives our platform mass market appeal.

Built-in cloaking rules can be selected at will by a tick the box system.
These can filter unwanted files out of the backup set - including everything else; or, can approve certain desired file types - ignoring the rest. This saves the user time, both in the backup session time AND in the day to day management of local folders.

Recovering Files

When trouble comes, be it a virus, a failed hard-disk, or a stolen computer, 4th Wall will be there to save the customer. The end-user simply clicks the “Recover” console within the program, enters the username and password, selects the file(s) to recover, and clicks “restore file(s)”. The system also keeps an archive of version of the file, so if you want to get a previous version of a document, say… as it was last Tuesday, 4th Wall can do that too. This is in contrast to most online backup systems, where daily versions are not kept, and marks the difference between Backup and mere storage.

Privacy and Security
This system ensures complete privacy protection. UltraSafe security uses a quad-tiered encryption system which encrypts data on the user’s computer, again in transit, and finally when at rest in storage. The UltraSafe password means that the user’s decryption password is not stored in our systems so that not even the SOS programmers can view the data stored on the servers. Only the user who put it there can ever access the data. This stands in contrast to most other online backup systems, where data is neither encrypted on your client, nor stored as encrypted data so as to prevent employees of the software vendor from accessing stored data.

Web Based Recovery and File Sharing

4th Wall not only provides you with an automatic, secure and safe backup system – but it also provides you with global roaming access to all of your files. Anywhere in the world – using just a web browser – you can go to and have immediate access to all the computers, folders, files and versions that you have backed up with your Backup User Account.On top of this functionality – the ORI allows users to share files with anyone who has an email address. With just two clicks – you can specify that a file should be accessible by a friend, family member, colleague, or whomever you please. Want to share photos online with friends? Use 4th Wall to share them! Sick of having large attachments rejected by your email server? Use 4th Wall to share it! Many of our customers find this feature as useful as the core backup functionality. This is not just for online backup, it is also a file management and file sharing system.
