DataVault

Data102 uses a cutting edge backup solution called DataVault, continuous data protection. This solution is operated in house by our experienced technicians who carefully monitor your system 24/7/365. Using our DataVault backup solution your data is stored on two distinct, globally redundant SANs for double the protection. No more need for tapes, external hard drives or storage servers. Now your backups can be managed with one easy solution. You asked for it, now you got it and its called DataVault from Data102.

What is DataVault?
DataVault is a fully managed robust backup solution that provides continuous data backups and off-site disaster recovery for Linux and Windows Dedicated Servers. DataVault uses replication and synchronization, with point-in-time snap shots, to provide up to the minute data protection of your complete server configuration. In the case of a catastrophic event, our monitoring team recovers your exact server configuration to minutes before the event occurred.

In other words, DataVault is a Backup solution that continuously captures your entire system configuration to a local storage pool and then replicates it in real time to an off-site facility which allows for up to the minute recovery of your information.

How does it Work?
DataVault directly reads your hard disk volumes at the sector level, bypassing the file system for the ultimate in performance and recovery. Our disk sector synchronization is performed while the server is online and causes no interruption to I/O requests, even on a busy server. By reading the disk at the lowest possible level, DataVault captures incremental recovery images containing your files and all the required information for complete and instant disaster recovery within minutes.

Where is my data stored?
We have built two Storage Area Networks to protect your data. With more than 70 miles of physical separation and a GigE link between them, our DataVault servers are moving your data to two safe and separate locations simultaneously. We have installed a private, physically independent GigE network, protected from the internet, guaranteeing the utmost in performance and security for your data.

I like it, but how much does it cost?
Normally a solution like this would cost you thousands of dollars per month but we have worked hard to create not only the best performing solution but also the best value. In fact we priced the solution specifically with the reseller in mind. Please contact us for pricing.

Top Benefits at a glance

Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery
Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is NO need to first partition your drive and install the operating system.

High Performance
Sector based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups. Backups can usually be performed at anytime, even on busy servers.

Small Backup Windows
Only changed disk sectors are copied between backups. Incremental backups can now be completed in minutes.

Open File Backups
DataVault backup is a total solution including built-in support for backing up open files. NO 3rd party software is required.

Snapshots
Our technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.

Near Continuous Backups
During normal host operation, the DataVault Agent keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know what sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. This eliminates the need for file-by-file or block-by-block comparisons every backup.

Designed with Resellers in Mind
Delegate control to different administrators on a server-by-server basis.

Remote Administration
Software can be completely controlled offsite using a web-based interface.

Compression
Incremental sector based backups ignore unused portions of the disk and copy only the disk sectors that have changed since the last backup. This when used with traditional compression, reduces backup storage by as much as 90% when compared to a traditional system wide, file-by-file backup.

End-to-end strong encryption
Data is continuously encrypted while in storage and during network transmission using RSA keys. Decryption during a restore is only possible when the encryption key holder enters their pass phrase.

Data Integrity
During backup and restore data is verified using MD5 checksums.

Redundant Storage
Globally redundant storage with over 70 miles of physical separation for twice the protection.
