According to the company, “Samsung Auto Backup backs up data in real time or through a prearranged schedule. The backed-up data can also be securely saved by setting a password with Samsung’s SafetyKey. And to protect confidential files and folders, Samsung’s SecretZone creates a virtual drive which provides encryption for data security.”
