Backing away from their enterprise level solutions, AT&T is now offering services for home and small business users. Prices start at 2GB of space for 5.95USD per month. The new "Online Vault" system does an initial backup of the user's system, afterwards only backing up files that have changed. New files are compressed, encrypted, and transmitted on a daily basis to AT&T's secure data center. Backups can be made to any computer that the consumer desires. Aimed mainly at small businesses for slightly more money, the "Remote Vault" option allows for more flexible backups, including hourly, weekly, or other periods. AT&T is now targeting SMB for online backup services
