How to reset a backup account password

Your backup account password can be managed independently of your billing account password. If you forget or lose the backup account password, you can reset it within the client area.

  • Navigate to the client area.
  • From the main menu click "Backup Accounts".
  • Click the "Actions" button for the account that requires the password change.
  • From the Actions menu select Reset Password.

Type and confirm your new password, optionally use the Generate Password option. We strongly recommend using the Generate Password option to ensure a strong random password for your account. When you are finished click Save Changes.

 

Account Devices and Billing

You can log in to the same backup account from multiple devices. eazyBackup automatically bills for each device used if a protected item has been created on the device.

Plans typically start with one device and can be modified from the service management page to support additional devices.

Each device has it's own Protected Items (backup jobs), and typically share a single Storage Vault. This means that devices can restore each others' data.

When a device is revoked, data from that specific device will be purged from the storage vault according to the retention policy on the vault. This is separate from the retention policy on the protected items. When a device is revoked, the protected items from that device are also removed. The data that belonged to those protected items will remain in the vault until the vault's retention policy has expired (default is 30 days).

A device has a "friendly name" that is set  when it is first registered. The "friendly name" defaults to the hostname of the PC. Devices can be renamed in the dashboard if needed.

To adjust your billing, devices must first be revoked from within the client area. After revoking a device, you can modify the backup plan from the service management page.

About Data Security

Backing up:

eazyBackup software always encrypts all user data before sending or storing it, using strong AES-256-CTR with Poly1305 in AEAD mode with high-entropy random keys. The user’s password is used to derive two 192-bit keys via PBKDF2-SHA512, with hard-coded parameters for repeatable output.

Your data at rest:

When eazyBackup sets up a Storage Vault for the first time, it generates two high-entropy random keys (the 256-bit “A” and 128-bit “E” keys). All user data in the Storage Vault is stored encrypted with the A-key using AES-256 in CTR mode, and authenticated using Poly1305 in AEAD (encrypt-then-MAC) mode. The only party with the decryption key is your company/the backup user. This ensures total privacy of the ePHI data.
