If $&&$* Hits the Fan Today and Downs Your Network, Who Has Your Data?
The No-Nonsense, No-Worry Data Vaulting Solution
If you’re like most businesses, dependent on your information and data, than you
need to put your business’ backup data in the hands of a trusted agent. This is
where we come in. WeVault’s backup and restore software is a unique combination
of technologies that will provide you with multiple efficiencies as well as top
notch security.
WeVault’s efficiency is delivered via our unique THIN,
Bit-by-Bit, and De-duplication software technology
which save you money-because we don’t reduplicate what’s already been backed up.
This saves both time (with fewer files being replicated), and money (which would
have otherwise been spent on additional storage space, bandwidth, or tapes). We
use state-of the art compression and encryption.
Multiple offsite data facilities ensure that your data is not only safe
and secure, but available whenever you are in need of it.
Benefits
Our unique backup and restore software provides a true no-hassles, no-thinking-
required solution. If you’ve been worrying about the status of your data, it’s time
to get some peace of mind through WeVault’s fully automated remote backup capabilities.
Simply download it to your computer, set it up to so that it has secure access to
your computer’s files, and determine your backup preferences and requirements.
With WeVault’s data recovery software solution, you can rest assured that your backup
data remains accessible to you 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, while our software
initiates your desired backup schedule, and facilitates the processing of your data
to our secure remote offsite facilities, all via the internet. You don’t have to
worry about compatibility – we support most major platforms.
If you’re seeking a competitively-priced data recovery solution that can provide
you with top notch services, give us a call at (877) WeVault.
Bit-by-Bit sends only the changes to your files.
Bit by Bit
For Maximum Efficiency, Go with Our Bit-by-Bit Technology
Bit-by-Bit is WeVault’s proprietary way of comparing each bit of information, or
block of data, in your data files and determining what’s new. Why is this important?
Instead of reduplicating information night after night, extending the backup process
and taking up more and more valuable storage space, we ensure that your bandwidth
and vault resources are only used for your essential, unique information. Compare
us to traditional backup services that transfer entire files each time a backup
is run, disregarding the content and any duplicates that exist.
WeVault: Saving you Space, Time, Money…and Aggravation
After your full initial backup is performed by WeVault, the software then does subsequent
backups on a Bit by Bit basis, transmitting only the new or changed information
from your system to WeVault’s remote offsite storage for safekeeping. Once the new
information has been identified it is encrypted, compressed and sent Bit-By-Bit
to WeVault’s secured offsite servers. Since we only send what is new, this assures
faster transmission time and less of a load on your network traffic.
Deduplication prevents the same file from being backed up twice.
Deduplication
Deduplication – Giving You the Best Bang for Your Buck
What is Deduplication? In the simplest terms, it’s getting rid
of repetition-all of those pointless identical files or pieces of information gone,
history! Our technology easily pinpoints which bits of data are unique, and then
compresses, encrypts and transfers them to be stored in our vault. This applies
across all backup profiles in your account as well. Traditional software would back
up multiple computers spending your time, storage space, and bandwidth repeatedly
backing up useless identical files from each computer. Now, you have a better choice
with WeVault Deduplication.
How does it Work?
After our software completes its initial comprehensive backup of your company’s
files, each subsequent backup only utilizes your company’s bandwidth and backup
time for new and unique data, thereby reducing costs across the board for your company.
WeVault is able to accomplish this streamlining of resources by assigning a digital
signature to each file being backed up. On subsequent backups, it then compares
the new resulting signature to those on previously backed-up files. If there is
a signature match between the new file and an existing backed-up file, the WeVault
software then marks the new file as a duplicate, but does not re-transfer the file.
Bit By Bit and Deduplication technologies work together
as a powerful team, examining and evaluating changed data by breaking files down
into discrete blocks of information. Each block is compared to the corresponding
block in a previously backed up version of that file. Any blocks that are found
to be different will be transmitted as new backups, adding to the previous blocks
to provide you with a new version of that file.
THIN technology makes your backup profiles run fast!
THIN Technology
Get the Skinny on Backup Time with Our THIN Technology
Our WeVault THIN technology is the BRAIN behind our client software that enables
it to identify which files have subsequently changed. Think of it as the accountant
who’s keeping diligent track of all of your files, and knows exactly what’s been
passing through his hands. As soon as a file comes through that has comparable information,
your “accountant” quickly marks that file to be processed by the next backup.
Go from Hours to Minutes
WeVault software was constructed with efficiency as our mainstay. Being intimately
familiar with the industry, we know how long traditional backups can take, and how
they can tie up your staff, cripple your network, or eat up valuable storage space.
With our software, you’ll be asked to do an initial comprehensive backup. This will
be the only time your backup profile will undergo a full seed of the source data.
After the first file backup is performed, all backups from then onwards will use
our WeVault THIN Technology and take only a fraction of the time it took to do the
initial seed. By utilizing a complex and proprietary logging algorithm, WeVault’s
THIN Technology can quickly ascertain what has changed in a backup profile in a
matter of minutes, thus eliminating the need for the files to be fully compared
on a bit by bit basis again.
When combined with our Bit By Bit, and
Deduplication technologies, THIN Technology results in subsequent backup
jobs that complete in minutes rather than hours.
Note: THIN technology requires NTFS partitions. THIN will not work over FTP or SAMBA
on Linux partitions.
Encryption secures your files.
Encryption and Privacy
We Have the Encryption Methods You Need for the Security You Require
Encryption Algorithms
WeVault supports the following encryption algorithms:
- 64-bit BlowFish
- 256-bit AES
- 448-bit AES (planned)
The Encryption Run Down
When is data encrypted?
Your data is encrypted at your site via the WeVault client software. Data is ALWAYS
encrypted. Data is not viewable or retrievable by WeVault agents.
- Data travels over Internet encrypted.
- Data travels on seed drives encrypted.
- Data travels on restore drives encrypted.
Private Key
If you desire, WeVault supports the use of a private encryption key, or special
pass-phrase that the customer defines when installing the WeVault software. This
private encryption key provides additional insurance that all data is 100% private,
viewable only to the customer. However, WeVault does not make copies, store, or
remember private encryption keys. Therefore it is essential that each customer remember
their encryption key. If the encryption key is forgotten, data cannot be restored
under ANY circumstances. There is absolutely no way around this, so it is imperative
to store your private encryption key in a safe place – this is paramount to your
business’ security.
Also note that private encryption keys cannot be changed without a complete delete
and re-seed of the customer’s vault.
If you have files to backup, WeVault can do it.
