A reliable backup mechanism is crucial in restoring your data during crises. Zoho Vault allows users to securely back up their data to their email or cloud service (supported: Amazon S3, Box, DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Zoho WorkDrive). Backup copies of the Zoho Vault data are sent periodically as encrypted HTML files to the users. Contact your organization's admin to enable data backup to let you access this feature.
Data backup over email
If your admin has enabled data backup for your organization, you will automatically receive backup copies of your data over email.
Note: If you're still not receiving your backup data, ensure your admin has not restricted you from receiving backup or contact Zoho Vault support.
Cloud Backup
(Available only in Standard, Professional, Enterprise Editions)
If cloud backup is enabled by your admin, you can connect your respective cloud accounts with Zoho Vault to periodically receive and organize encrypted copies of your data under a single folder.
Pre-requisite:
A valid subscription with the corresponding cloud service.
Activating cloud backup
- Select Settings from Zoho Vault, then click Cloud Backup from the User Configuration section
- Select your cloud service, then click Generate Token to link your cloud account with Zoho Vault.
- Grant the required permission and click Save.
How secure is the data backup?
The encrypted HTML file that's sent to you can only be accessed using your master-password. Even if someone gets access to these encrypted files, they will be unable to decrypt them without the master password.
Note: If the cloud backup fails due to configuration or other technical issues, your backup copies will be temporarily sent to your registered email address until the issue is resolved.
