DataVaulting
Datavaulting is online, off-site backup of all your corporate data assets, eliminating the need for manual tape backups. Backing up mail, print and database servers in addition to user desktops and laptops with DS3 DataVaulting dramatically reduces the time to restore and removes anxiety about the unreliability of damaged, lost or corrupted magnetic tapes.
DS3 DataVaulting is an off-site, on line, real-time network backup & restore service. We protect a company’s entire enterprise including workstations, file servers, databases, and email systems.

Our strict data management practices, coupled with our automatic (i.e. no human intervention) off-site storage, positively impacts our customers’ disaster recovery/business continuity strategy.
Benefits
- Risk Reduction - the vulnerability of your organization having incomplete backups is virtually eliminated.
