ReadyNAS Vault:

Embedded Online Disaster Recovery

ReadyNAS Vault software connects ReadyNAS systems to an enterprise-class Web-based storage infrastructure. You determine what you want protected and ReadyNAS Vault automatically and securely copies it offsite. ReadyNAS Vault software is tightly integrated into ReadyNAS storage systems, so you can confirm results, make changes, and recover files, even for multiple systems, from any Internet location.

Device-integrated Cloud Backup

Other backup solutions require a server and agents to be installed, managed, maintained, and licensed, but ReadyNAS Vault is built right into your storage. Differential backups, de-duplication and compression are all automatic, and management requires only a Web browser. Cut down costs while increasing reliability, all without adding complexity.

Web-based Management

Check transfer history, modify configurations, change scheduling and select backup sources from any browser-based location in real-time. No more waiting on email for logs after the fact, and multiple systems can be managed from a single login.

Continuous Data Protection Options

ReadyNAS Vault can watch for changes in real-time and provide immediate protection for new or modified files. Alternatively, backup jobs can be scheduled to run at specific intervals so that your data is moved offsite when it is most convenient for you. Advanced configuration options for bandwidth consumption and system usage provide you with complete control. ReadyNAS Vault automatically maintains multiple versions, providing numerous recovery points.

Recover Data Quickly

Browse to the files you need and replace them on your ReadyNAS with a click. No need to restore from tapes, no concerns about software versions and no media management hassles – just browse and replace. Large amounts of data can be replaced by shipped CD, DVD or even a ReadyNAS.

Secure

128-bit SSL transfer connections ensure that your data is kept private and secure during transmission and 256-bit AES encryption delivers additional protection while it sits on cloud storage systems.
