Zoho Vault allows you to securely back up your data to your email or cloud service (including Amazon S3, Box, DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Zoho WorkDrive). An encrypted HTML file is sent periodically to the users. Admins can allow all or specific users from their organization to utilize this feature by completing a one-time setup.

Excluding specific users from receiving backup
By default, the encrypted backup file will be sent to all users in your organization. You can exempt specific users from receiving backup copies of their data by following the below steps:
- Select Settings from Zoho Vault, then click Data backup from the Admin configurations section.
- Select Manage exemptions.

A word of caution:
Once the encrypted file is emailed, admins will not have any control over access to the backup data. Whenever a team member with access to your enterprise data leaves your organization, we highly recommend that you reset your passwords. We also recommend that you prevent users from getting a copy of the passwords shared with them by enabling Back up only the passwords owned from the Data backup page.
