Spectra DataSafe

You probably know this already, but if you don't keep a current backup of your Spectra database at a secure location offsite, you should!

Our tech support team can tell you countless horror stories of server failures, hard drive crashes, network failures resulting in corrupted databases, theft, fire, and even flooding, that have resulted in a panicked tech support call. As much as we'd love to save the day in these incidences, if you don't have a current database backup, there's really nothing we can do…except share your frustration.

To secure a brighter outcome in the face of data loss, keep your data in our safe! Our secure, offsite data backup service ensure that your data will remain intact no matter what kinds of forces conspire against it.


Q: How does DataSafe work?
StudioPlus Spectra will automatically upload a copy of your database to our secure servers every night. Every morning you will receive an email confirming the current status of your backed up files, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe and secure.


Q: How secure is my data?
Very secure. Before each file is uploaded, it is compressed, password protected with a unique password, and encrypted with 256 bit AES encryption.


Q: How many copies of my database do you retain?
Fourteen! We will retain the seven most recent daily backups, the five most recent weekly backups, and the two most recent annual backups.


Q: What happens if I need a copy of my recently backed up data?
Call the StudioPlus technical support department and they’ll arrange to deliver the correct database file to you immediately.


Q: Are my images also backed up?
No. Only the Spectra database is backed up. You are still responsible to back up all your image files.
