Is data held on the Backup Appliance or does it pass straight through?

The Backup Appliance acts as a gateway only, passing data through after it has been compressed and encrypted, using delta blocking, common file elimination and a digital signature. A database showing information on what has been backed up is held on the Backup Appliance but no actual data files are retained.
