Australian Hosting
You don't want to wait while your data travels overseas and back
Hosted on servers located in Sydney, Markbook Online is fast. Being local means unlike a system hosted overseas, there is minimal waiting for the browser to refresh. Your data is stored here in Australia so there is no delay caused by a round-trip of information travelling overseas and back to slow you down.
Every 24 hours we create a full backup of all your markbook data. These daily backups are stored for a minimum of 90 days. If required, these backups let us rollback an individual markbook, without affecting any other markbook, to any day in the past 3 months. All data is stored with identifying information securely encrypted with 128 bit SSL methods. With Markbook Online you can be confident that your results are securely stored with multiple backups. This is more secure than using individual markbook files with a desktop based markbook.
Schools can maintain their own backups. While knowing there is a centralised backup gives peace-of-mind, you still retain the ability to make your own local backup. A local copy of any markbook can be made at any time at your school, or you can choose to backup all your school markbooks with a single command.
Backups you make are stored as markbook files with the “mk” extension that can be read by our other markbook software, SM-Marks and Teacher’s Personal Markbook. This means using Markbook Online does not restrict or permanently bind your data to the online system. You control the data and have complete control.

Markbook Online does not overseas servers. What this means is that your data is located on a specific server and cannot move off-shore, with resulting privacy or performance issues.
