Yes, exactly! Your TDrive, is a virtual storage drive. When you view files and folders on that drive, you are viewing files and folders resident at Amazon S3.

Well, first of all, both TyphoonDrive and TyphoonBackup compresses and encrypts your data using military strength encryption methods before it is sent to Amazon S3 servers so the data is in a format that will be unreadable to anyone while it resides at Amazon. When you restore data from TyphoonBackup or copy and paste from TyphoonDrive, Amazon S3 sends the encrypted data back to your computer in it’s encrypted format. TyphoonBackup and Drive (i.e. on your computer) then de-encrypts and decompresses the data and restores it in any location you desire. Secondly, only you, after logging in, will have access to your files. The one caveat is that your TyphoonDrive is available to anyone at your machine, so YOUR OWN personal security measures are of the utmost importance while at home or at the office.

When accessing your files from our website, TyphoonTools uses SSL encryption. This encryption method is the method all banks, brokerages and online shopping sites use to secure the connection between your browser and our servers. Over and above this secure “connection” method, TyphoonDrive first excrypts your data using a 256 bit Twofish encryption process. It would take significantly longer than the age of the universe to crack just a 128-bit key. – [source - http://www.inet2000.com/public/encryption.htm]

Yes! TyphoonDrive is available in two forms. You can pay us for the software and use it with your own Amazon S3 account (TyphoonDive “standalone”), or you can sign up for our online service that takes care of all the data storage for you (TyphoonDrive “service”). Either way, only YOU have control of your data.

TyphoonDrive and TyphoonBackup come together and work together like pees & carrots! TyphoonDrive creates a virtual hard drive on your computer that you can access via the web or even other computers with TyphoonDrive installed. TyphoonBackup lets you easily backup all of your important files to TyphoonDrive.
