Universe Point’s ION backup software’s stand-out feature is that it is monitored backup software. Once installed and configured, your backups are monitored by Universe Point’s Monitoring Center. If a problem occurs with a scheduled backup a Universe Point technician will call and inform you of the problem. The logic behind providing a monitored backup service is Universe Point’s research indicating that 30% of small to medium business backup software users are unsure if their backup have been successful and can be used for data recovery. There are no privacy concerns as Universe Point only receives notification of unsuccessful backup and not actual data. Backup are also made to the location of your choice.
The software has a simple interface to guide users through a step by step process for producing an automatic backup schedule.

- File Structure Preservation - files and folders look just like they do when you browse on your hard drive making locating a backed up file or folder simpler.
