Redmond-based Newline Software has recently released Newline Exact, an online backup service with 100 percent data privacy.

“Other online backup services don’t encrypt file names and file dates so they can manage your encrypted file data, but Exact is the first and only to encrypt everything,” said Newline Software co-founder Kory Gill. “Exact encrypts file data, file names, file dates, and everything else. This is a huge deal. Since everything is encrypted, even our employees don’t know what files you back up, their contents, etc. This makes Exact the only online backup service suitable for business and privacy-conscious consumers.”

With Exact backup information is never decrypted any place other than the user’s computer. There are no features that expose users to any privacy risks such as managed keys or browser access to files without dedicated client software.

Newline Software’s introduction is timely as privacy of online data is increasingly on the forefront of consumers’ minds.

“The time is ripe for the protection provided by Exact,” Gill said. “The only information Exact doesn’t encrypt is your contact information so we can send you your bill.”

Jordan Malkin, vice president for Hard Drives Northwest and Newline Software partner, added, “People should think of online backup as insurance for their critical information and potentially as important as insurance for life, home, or car. Losing customer data, business proposals, or sales information can be costly. A recent study on data recovery indicates it takes 19 days to retype 20MB of data at a cost of $17,000. In comparison, backing up 20MB with Exact costs less than $2 a year.”
