Are you one of the many “web-based entrepreneurs” facing problems in managing different aspects of backup/data safety?

Well, Pulkit Madan, a Class 12th Student from Lucknow has got the solution for you with his startup Backit.co. Pulkit who had earlier launched a collaboration tool for developers, Coffee.io, aims to help individuals and SMB’s with website database backup solutions and the unique one-click “Migration” option to migrate your website to another hosting server.

Backit.co offers its users with four intrinsic features of web-maintenance namely, Website Backup, Monitoring, Restore and Migration.

  • Backup: The Company claims to offer the most reliable backup in the market with near perfect solidity. The platform simply replicates the data in secure locations across the world and backs up your site automatically, every day. The site’s dashboard virtually creates a timeline notifying you about all the activities in the website ranging from when your next backup will occur to how many files were added, changed, or deleted in your previous backups.
  • Monitoring: Backit proposes to safeguard your website from imminent hack-attacks. They aim to do that with a unique feature called Differential Backup which monitors the website on a daily basis scrambling for changes that have occurred from the last version of the website stored on your system. If any changes are found, Backit emails him with the details.
  • Restore: The platform allows you to recover deleted or overwritten files. The best part is, in case your site is hacked, it removes the malware without the need of installing any software. Backit provides u with two options of restore, Manual restore that provides you with a zipped version of your backup or Automatic Restore.
  • Migration: Keeping in mind the difficulty the user’s face when migrating to a new hosting provider, Backit has come up with its Migration feature that lets u switch to a new server with just a click to perform. The company also serves this feature for WordPress blogs.

But, what seals the deal for Backit is its Date Safety Shields. All online backup services are not created equally when it comes to data security. Backit comes up with the strongest security known – “Zero Knowledge” encryption. All the information and website or database backups are encrypted using Backit’s 2048-bit RSA public key ensuring that only officially authorized Backit.co servers can read your data. Only the user can access his/her data and on the request from user’s account the data is de-encrypted and converted into zip file so that the user can download his data in zip format. All the encrypted data is stored in Backit’s special isolated server’s so to make it super-safe.

Backit’s subscription plans turn out to be a tad-bit expensive in comparison to the other online backup services available in market but then it’s all worth it for the many services that it provides. Sign up for the “10-day free trial” to get the real experience of Backit.

The startup has garnered great response from the market. As Pulkit says “We have launched just 5 days ago and already have got 40 users and the list is growing fast.”
With so many other website backup service providers to compete with, Backit will have to keep improving (CMS based solutions for one!) But, yes indeed the future looks promising.
