FTP is a simple protocol which does not offer same benefits as Zipup Backup. Files backed up with Zipup Backup are securely encrypted on your computer and then safely stored in well maintained Linux servers in the Midwest Data Center. Linux servers have been recognized as being extremely resistant to potential malware like viruses. Our servers are also protected against hardware failures with RAID 5, a duplication scheme that enables the data on a failed disk to be fully restored when the failed hardware is replaced.
