Yes. Our backup agents have the ability to backup all necessary information to perform a complete, full restore on all supported platforms.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

Each time a backup is executed, a log file and a catalog are created. The log file is an audit trail for the backup and displays the start time, connection information, statistics, and summary information regarding the backup. The catalog is an index of all the files contained in the backup and contains file attribute information, dates, full directory information, and sizes.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

None! Once you schedule the time and frequency of your backups during installation, the backups run automatically. We do recommend that you check your backup source and logs periodically to ensure that the proper files are included and no pertinent files are being skipped.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

The backups require a small software agent to be loaded on the computer(s) to be backed up.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

The corrupt files get backed up and stored on our system. A backlog of backup sets that you can restore from will allow you to go back and restore files from the last date that the files were valid. That’s why having a sufficient backups retained in our vaults is important.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

Backups are extremely fast. Our delta-block technology transmits only the changed portions of changed files during each backup session. Exactly how long that takes depends on the size of your backup, speed of your Internet connection, and amount of changed data. Our average client backup is less than 30 minutes. Because the initial backup requires transmission of all data, it takes the longest and may require multiple sessions to complete. The service will “chip away” at the initial backup until completed with no user intervention required. After the initial backup is complete, nightly backups are significantly smaller than tape-based systems and result in a much more efficient and faster backup.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

The two primary security measures we employ are (1) limiting access to your data to approved users by password authorization; and (2) encrypting your data prior to transmission and storing it in an encrypted state in our vaults.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

At the time you have scheduled, your computer will make a secure TCP/IP connection to our servers. Your data will be encrypted before leaving your site, then transmitted to VaultLogix and stored in our secure facility. When the backup is done, you will be notified via E-Mail of the status.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-548-3858.

No, but our system has the ability to completely backup and restore all supported platforms. Some clients back up only their data files, while others back up their programs and operating systems. Select only the files, directories, or drives that you wish to back up. Of course, we can only restore the data you back up. Make sure you are backing up all your critical files.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-548-3858.

Companies that offer unlimited cloud storage have other limits that make them unacceptable for business usage. By restricting how fast a client may upload and download data and/or restricting total data throughput over a period of time, these services control usage in hidden ways. The minimal support and slow response times are also major concerns for business clients. We never restrict bandwidth. Our backups and restores will only be restrained by the client’s Internet connection constraints. We will take and send client data as fast as the client can transmit and receive it.

Unlimited cloud storage is not a viable business model. You want to do business with a company that is going to be there when a disaster strikes. Don’t risk your business with unlimited cloud storage.

No. Mirrored/ RAID hard drives only protects you from a hardware failure. Since 90% of data loss is due to data corruption or user error, mirrored equipment offers no protection. This is because corrupt data gets instantly written to the mirror equipment. The only way to protect your data is by having a backlog of backups to restore from.

For immediate assistance, please call Technical Support at 1-844-LIVE-VLT (1-844-548-3858).

There is no comparison between cloud backup and tape backup. Our backup service is much more reliable than tape backups. We have MANY clients who have run our service for years without ever changing their configuration and without ever missing a backup. We will put our track record up against any tape backup system. A major risk of tape systems is that even when all indicators point to successful backups, the restores fail. Secondly, most companies using tape systems don’t employ a secondary fail-safe system. Our system has redundancy built in.

All clients have redundant backups in multiple locations. Some clients choose to backup first to a local appliance at their site. Most clients, however, back up data first to the primary data center, then to a secondary remote data center. If clients are using the local appliance option, data is backed up first to the local appliance, then vaulted off-site to the vaults in the primary and secondary data centers. If a client needs to restore or needs assistance, support is always available. In an emergency, our mode of operations becomes extremely important.

A restore may involve anything from a single file to an entire system. The graphical user interface lets you select individual files or folders for restoration. There is also a search utility that allows you to scan an entire catalog using a file specification mask that may include wildcards. If you have a catastrophic loss and no operating system, you must first install your base o/s, service packs, and network drivers then re-install the software. Once this is done, you can connect to the backend servers, recreate your local catalogs and proceed to initiate restores. Our support technicians are always available to assist with an emergency restore.
