Data Backup
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 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
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.
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.
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: All fields are encrypted in the Add Password form except for 'Password Name, Description, URL, and Tags'. This is to simplify your in-product search and auto login experience. Please refrain from saving sensitive data in these fields to ensure your backup copies are completely safe as well.
