Introduction

There are only two types of people who use computers:

• those who have experienced a system failure
• those who are going to.

In mid 1999 Timeless Technologies Inc. discovered that some source code from one of our commercial systems had gone missing. Not a problem, we would just go to our back-up tapes and restore the missing files. Were we in for a surprise! What we thought gave us 100% protection of our data turned out to be exactly the opposite!

It was our first experience of a system problem after years of using a tape back-up solution. When we examined our library of backups we found there had been problems for a long time and we had chunks of corrupt or unrecoverable files throughout our tapes. It was a shock to discover we had been so exposed to disaster for so long while having a feeling of security.

We quickly decided it would never happen to us again.

Our investigations led us to discover we could use the same type of system used by banks, credit card companies, law and accounting firms and that it would be more cost effective than tapes, and totally safe and secure.

As a technology company we quickly saw how superior electronic vaulting is in every way, and that’s why we use it and it has "saved our skin" time and time again. We can go back to any point in time and get what we need from the electronic backup vault quickly and easily.

EVault currently holds 172 terabytes of critical data for over 500 companies and has performed 1.2 million backups. Since the system came on-line in 1997 it has never lost one piece of data and has performed tens of thousand of restorations.

It’s the cheapest insurance policy you will ever have!
