It also protects and secures files against loss of data across multiple PCs that reside in different physical locations (home, school, work, and so on)
Web-based restore and access
Because all files are backed up online, users can access their data at any time and quickly restore lost, deleted, or damaged files to any Web-enabled PC.
Norton Online Backup is strictly a software solution, so no additional hardware or accessories are required. If users need a file when they are on the road, all they need is a computer with an Internet connection, and their data is just a click away.
Norton Online Backup provides access to a user’s files from any Web-enabled computer:

Protection of important files at secure offsite locations
Norton Online Backup secures and protects user’s important files and data against loss when transferred via the Internet to professionally managed offsite storage facilities.
These secure locations provide protection for valuable data against loss, damage, and natural disasters. Norton Online Backup stores files at multiple secure locations to protect against accidental loss if there is a fire or natural disaster at any one facility
High-level encryption and data compression
Norton Online Backup uses 256-bit data encryption on files in transit and at rest on the servers. It also compresses data on the PC prior to transmission to maximize transfer speeds and minimize online storage space used.
These features along with file redundancy between remote data centers help ensure that the user’s data is safe at all times.
Thanks to these features, Norton Online Backup transfers files and data faster and more safely.
Remote management of backup settings
Norton Online Backup is easy to set up, and the intuitive, Web-based user interface makes it simple to remotely manage backup settings from any Web-enabled PC-the status tracker shows all backups performed, pending, and completed.
Block-level incremental backups
Norton Online Backup performs incremental backups on the delta-block level. This means that rather than backing up an entire file that has changed since the last backup, Norton Online Backup only transmits the new parts of a file that have changed, resulting in faster speeds for incremental backups.
Archives accidentally deleted files
Most computer users have deleted a file by mistake, resulting in loss of the file, along with possibly irreplaceable photos. Norton Online Backup helps prevent this from happening by allowing users to easily retrieve accidentally deleted files that have been backed up from any Web-enabled PC at any time.
