System Requirements
Back up from any PC or Mac. In fact, back up from both on the same account.
Do you have Windows?
Data Deposit BoxTM was designed to work on a wide range of Windows PCs. Anything from Windows 95b all the way up to Windows XP, 2003 Server, 2008 Server and Windows 7 are supported.
Operating Systems: Windows 2008, Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Me, 98, NT, 95
Processor: Pentium 4 @ 1.7 GHz
RAM: 1 GB RAM (512 MB minimum)
Hard Drive Space: 5 GB free
Our software has been tested to work on the minimum configuration recommended by Microsoft for each version of Windows. If you are happy with the performance of your system today, rest assured that the backup will not degrade your performance.
Do you have a Mac?
Operating Systems: Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7
Processor: 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 or Intel CPU
RAM: 512 MB
Hard Drive Space: 5 GB free
Our software has been tested to work on the minimum configuration recommended by Apple. If you are happy with the performance of your system today, rest assured that the backup will not degrade your performance.
No high speed? No problem.
Though backups work best on a high speed Internet connection, it's not required. In fact, many customers are totally satisfied using Data Deposit BoxTM on dial-up or accelerated dial connections.
Older System? Don't worry.
Our Backup Software is small and efficient, so it can run easily on older systems.
Software designed for firewall compatibility.
The backup software was also designed to be compatible with home and office hardware firewalls. To a firewall it just looks like a web browser. Or, put another way, if your PC can surf the web you should have no trouble using our backup service.
(Tech Note: The web portal uses HTTP and HTTPS on ports 80 and 443. The backup client uses a proprietary protocol that looks to a firewall like SSL on port 443.)
A brief note about personal firewall software:
Lately personal software firewalls have become very popular - ones that run on your local PC and protect you from viruses, spyware, and email worms. While Data Deposit BoxTM is compatible with these programs, you may worry that is not the case when you're installing. When you first install our backup software, you may see a pop-up security alert from your firewall software saying that a program BACKUP.EXE is trying to access the Internet. You should be prompted to "Permit" or "Deny" this program access. It is important that when you see this message you say "Permit"
