What is Data Vaulting?

I am frequently asked to define this term which is also called online backup.

Definition according to myself is as follows: Data Vaulting (aka online backup) The process of sending data off-site, where it can be protected from hardware failures, theft, and other threats.

In VAULT400's case, it is performed as a managed service in which the data is compressed and encrypted at every stage and stored at a top tier data centr. Recovery of information can be performed at any time and from anywhere.

VAULT400 Earns Its Keep at Corrpro!

Below is a summary of an unsolicited e-mail from Mike Lemon at Corrpro, praising VAULT400 services.

I am continually amazed at the ways in which Vault/400 earns its keep!

I performed a restore this afternoon that took a small fraction of the time that it would have taken me to locate the tape, load it, execute the command, and re-archive the tape.

In addition, the backup solution provided by Vault/400 is much faster and more robust and dependable than our old method. No more media errors, write protects, jammed up job queues, or shuffling tapes to our offsite storage.

The bottom line: Less downtime. Less effort. More peace of mind.

Thanks for everything,

-Mike
