How many versions of my backed up files are held off-site?
When the CoreVault Client is configured, a pre-determined default number of generations are established. Unlike a tape backup, where the tapes rotate in a cycle, CoreVault’s online data backup service will only backup a new version of a file when it has changed, guaranteeing that the customer is not wasting space backing up the same version more than once. This is called deduplication. For example, if a file only changes once a month and seven generations are retained, CoreVault will have seven generations / versions of that file. The number of generations stored is configured on an individual basis. Online backup sets can be configured to include just a single file if desired, giving you the ability to maximize the efficiency of the storage.
