All data stored on your zBox, including ESS data, will be automatically replicated to the offsite archive. No additional configuration is required, and the backup will always include all files, of any size or type, eliminating the unpleasant surprises that can accompany a less complete backup policy. In addition to the complete offsite backup, a full copy of all data will be retained on your zBox, allowing it to act directly as a NAS, and providing you with instant local data recovery.

Efficient offsite data backup demands more than simply copying files. When you update a file, zVault make extensive use of the dedicated zBox processing hardware to catalog, analyze, and efficiently replicate changes made, without wasting your network bandwidth by simply copying the entire updated file. Able to process data at hundreds of megabytes per second, while identifying and uploading only the modified blocks of data, zVault is able to keep any file that fits on a zBox up to date.

All zVault data replication processing takes place on your powerful onsite zBox, designed with an optimized balance of processing power, storage capacity, and I/O subsystem performance. This balance reduces bottlenecks and eliminates inefficiencies that can occur with ad-hoc backup software installations. Additionally, the power of your zBox allows zVault to achieve more efficient data replication and make better use of your available network bandwidth.

Your data is backed up to Amazon's S3 data storage service. S3 provides geographically distributed data replication, a multiply redundant storage architecture, and secure physical facilities. All data protected by zVault and stored on S3 is available globally and securely through the Zettabits Remote Console, ensuring that you will never be separated from your data. More information about S3 security may be found here.

The Zettabis Remote Console provides instant access to your protected data. As long as you have your encryption key and password, your zVault protected data is immediately available whenever and wherever you need it, directly through a web browser. Giving you the ability to recover both individual files and complete directories, the Remote Console ensures that you will never be left waiting for your data to be recovered.

Recovering from a single local system failure should be both fast and easy, and with Zettabits it is. Because your zBox maintains a complete onsite archive of all zVault protected data, data lost in a local system failure can be restored directly from your onsite zBox. With Zettabits, and unlike offsite-only backup providers, a simple hardware failure does not require the same complete offsite recovery as a major catastrophe.

Should your zBox ever become damaged or destroyed, you will receive replacement zBox hardware ready to recover all protected data and configuration settings from the offsite archive, automatically and at no additional cost. While your zBox is being restored, you retain complete instant acccess to all of your data through the Zettabits Remote Console. Once the recovery is complete, you will have a new zBox that contains all of your protected data, configured exactly the way it was before, as if the disaster had never occurred.
