We may from time to time change any part of this Agreement. If you want to be informed when we update our terms, sign up for our mailing list

If any of the terms of this Licence are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

1. Your backup sets are encrypted with a password you choose at the time of creating the backup job. If you don’t specify an encryption password, the system will generate one for you. Everyone who creates backup jobs should be aware of how to specify their own encryption password.
2. YOU are at all times responsible for keeping a written copy of your encrypted password in a safe place. You will require the password when you need to restore data and that may only happen years after the backup has been created. We can never reset or retrieve an encryption password.
3. Without the encryption password, you will NOT be able to restore your data. We DO NOT store your encryption passwords.
4. It is possible within your portal to store a copy of your password when you create a new user. This feature should be used at your discretion and should only be used in addition to storing 2 written copies of your encryption password on separate systems. We will also have the ability to read your encryption password if you store it in your portal.
5. Your data is encrypted at all times when stored on our service if you have chosen to encrypt your data. You can specify your data NOT to be encrypted at the time of backup. Therefore it is possible for us to read your data.
6. If at any time we ask for your encryption password to restore your data or you have asked us to restore some data for you, we will be able to view your data in its original form.

BOBcloud’s fair usage policy always ensures we have adequate resources available for other customers.
We don’t limit storage or inbound traffic (ingress). We do monitor outbound traffic (egress) on the pre-defined storage we provide. We don’t monitor egress on your own storage or third-party storage where you have a contract with the respective vendor.

How the policy works
You are permitted to download an equal amount of storage to an account’s storage size over the same 3 month period. This is often adequate for any testing and disaster recovery situations you might face.

Example: If a backup account has 100GB of data stored on one of our pre-defined storage locations, you can download 100GB within the same 3-month period.

If you exceed the guideline on egress
If you exceed this limit we will contact you to suggest an alternative storage location, alternative service, or to work with you on an egress price plan.
