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

Don't Gamble When Choosing a Disaster Recovery Provider

Below are some great tips I read in Processor Magazine that will help take the risk out of choosing your Disaster Recovery Partner...

1. Make sure your DR (disaster recovery) provider can offer you multiple choices for data recovery solutions to meet your needs.
2. Choose a provider with global reach and disparate, redundant, and hardened state-of-the-art facilities.
3. Choose a provider that allows you to retain access and control of your data.
4. Choose a provider that supports a wide range of computing platforms from legacy and midrange to Intel-based systems.
5. Make sure your provider has a proven track record in its field.
6. Be certain that your data is protected by a high level of encryption while in transit over the Internet and while resting on your provider’s servers and that your company has the only encryption key.
7. Always identify and document your recovery resources.
8. Make sure your DR provider invests in research and development regularly.
9. Check to be sure the provider is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
10. Make sure there are no hidden fees; know all the costs up front.
