How EVault Backup Solutions Work You may know EVault disk-to-disk backup technology minimizes bandwidth usage,

backup windows, and storage needs; ensures security, privacy, and regulatory compliance; and protects data from laptops to servers. But how does the backup technology work?
Initial Seed: The First Full Backup
For the first full backup, or initial seed, you can specify the most convenient days and times for data transmission over the wire. Alternatively, our backup technology lets you do a LAN-based transfer: well ship you a storage device; when the seed is complete, you ship it back. First full backup compresses data by as much as 50 percent Back-end deduplication further reduces the footprint by as much as 20 percent Subsequent backups typically add only two percent new data (your mileage may vary)

Delta Backups and Other WAN Optimization Backup Technology

After the initial seed, EVault DeltaPro backup technology finds and transmits only new or changed data blocks. EVault then dynamically builds virtual synthetic full backups. These delta backups work with adaptive compression, bandwidth throttling, and other WAN optimization backup technologies. Quick File ScanPatented backup technology rapidly scans files on every protected system or server to identify new or changed blocks. Adaptive CompressionShrinks transmitted data blocks by 40 90 percent, using the best compression algorithm based on available CPU and network bandwidth. Dynamic Bandwidth ThrottlingControls bandwidth available for backup jobs, useful for frequent backups of critical data or for use in limited-bandwidth environments. Enhanced CPU UtilizationBackup technology automatically splits backup jobs across multiple CPUs, freeing source-system processing power for other tasks. Self HealingA corrupted or missing delta index file doesnt stop EVault backup technology from identifying only new or changed blocks.

End-to-End Encryption: A Critical Backup Technology

EVault encryption protects backup data inside the firewall, as it travels over the wirethe connection is itself encryptedand while the data is at rest. There are no back door decryption keys; only your key holder can supply the correct code. Front-End EncryptionPrior to leaving the backup server, data is encrypted using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 128-bit or 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Over-the-Wire EncryptionThe backup and restore activity is encrypted, ensuring the security of transmitted data even over the Internet. At-Rest EncryptionData remains encrypted while in the EVault top-tier rated and SSAE 16-compliant data centers.

Efficient and Reliable Back-End Storage

Before storing your backup data, EVault backup technology identifies matching blocks across all files and eliminates duplicates. This back-end deduplication does not impact the backup window or performance; it can, however, reclaim 20 percent more storage space. EVault backup technology also automatically removes expired data blocks per your organizations retention policies.

Backup Technology for Single-Pass Restores

EVault backup data is instantly recoverable via a simple point-and-click, one-step restore process. How is that possible? Because EVault backup technology dynamically builds virtual synthetic full backups dynamicallyas

each backup job arrives at the Vaultand continually ensures the integrity of server backup data sets. Users can even restore their own data using the EVault CentralControl management console.
