Set It and Forget It Backups

Set It - Quickly solve your data protection requirements using our Data Vault / Automated Online Offsite Backup. No need for you to receive, configure, install, and maintain any physical appliances or extra hardware -- just a quick download and remote setup by our staff, and you're all set!

Configuring the software is as easy as setting the credentials and pass phrase, selecting the data to backup, and setting a backup schedule. For large customers, the initial backup can be preloaded to a USB disk and from then on only the block-level changes have to be sent across the network.

Forget It - Once configured, we monitor the status of your backup and provide both email notification of daily backup status and proactive problem resolution. Our solution is designed to automatically recover from temporary network and operating system errors, but in the case of a problem needing attention, you'll be proactively alerted. Enjoy a solution that makes every effort not to get your attention unless it's really needed.

Proven Technology and Infrastructure

Changed Data Blocks are Compressed, Encrypted, and Digitally Signed For each backup your data is analyzed and scanned for changes. Any changed 2KB blocks are compressed, encrypted with AES-256-bit and your private pass phrase, digitally signed for integrity verification upon restore, and tagged with multiple strong checksums to provide data integrity assurance. The encrypted data is then encrypted again as it enters the Internet, until it reaches one of several secure data centers.

Data is Filtered, Received, and Verified - The data arrives over Data Vault's redundant Internet connection, is processed by multiple layers of network firewalls, and is then validated for authenticity and integrity. Your encrypted data is then placed in Data Vault's private storage cloud.

Data is Made Redundant and Verified on All Physical Media - Our proprietary storage cloud was custom engineered to provide extremely high data integrity assurance. Multiple copies of your data are made, providing a 2N fault tolerance level, and separate and independent checksums are kept for each copy. Every cloud component re-checks the integrity checksums at each point in the pipeline, both before and after the data is physically stored on the storage mediums. The Data Vault data center does not indicate to the backup software that the data has been successfully stored until all data has been flushed from all write caches to all physical media with all copies having correct strong checksums.

Unified Local and Remote Backups

Data Vautl can also be configured to  encrypt and backup your data to an external USB disk, NAS device, SAN, or any accessible file system. Local backups can be centrally monitored just like with online backups. More advanced local backups are also supported where local backups are streamed across a LAN or VPN to one or more local backup servers.

 

Online backups may also be configured to include local backups. You can also choose to backup more locally than you do remotely. Or even use our solution purely for local backups, providing you wit a reliable, cost-saving alternative to expensive local backup software that must be bought in full up-front. Customers who are hesitant about online backups may start out on a local-only backup plan; as soon as you're ready for online backups it is a simple process to include full online protection as well.

Restore Data in Seconds, Not Minutes or Hours - Our restore wizard lets you select where to restore from (local or remote) with a simple drop-down menu. Simply use the explorer-like interface to select the data to restore, choose the point in time and where to restore to, and in seconds you'll have your data back. Or restore online from the Data Vault private storage cloud to access your data anytime, anywhere or after a disaster. Either way the digital signature on each block of restored data will be cryptographically verified, providing data assurance that the originally backed up data is 100% bit-for-bit perfect.

Centralized Local Backups and VPN-based Backups - Larger customers may find it easier to store all their locally backed up data on one server that is already provisioned with plenty of storage. Or a customer might already have multiple sites and wants to efficiently backup data from their branch office to their primary office across the VPN, and vice-versa. Easily configure our local backup server on any windows machine just by giving it credentials and the location to the store the data, enabling it to receive locally backed up data from any PC in your customers network. The data is transmitted using our secure and efficient proprietary protocol, ensuring that WAN/VPN traffic is conserved.

Mature Technology - Using mature technology hat that been in service since 2007 provides optimized performance and self-healing error handling. Data Vault software strives to automatically handle common local backup error conditions, including low kernel memory, disk stalls, and NAS network drops. Client soon come to expect completely error-free backups all the time, every time, and our entire team is dedicated to delivering on that promise.
