Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Netvault is a convenient application to use for all system backups and restores in our organization. As a financial organization, it is crucial to have our data backed-up regularly and we use Netvault specially to backup our stand alone servers. In addition to this, the great benefit is being able to encrypt our backups on specific data sets via Hardware encryption. Also on some occasions, we are required to share our backups with the other parties and we can easily do this task on the platform with users who are also using Netvault as their solution.
