Backup Large Files Support


Global datavault's seed load and in-file delta technologies enable backup of large files or large volumes of data to be completed in a very short period of time.

The seed load feature allows backup of the large volume of data to a local hard drive. The original file is required to be backed up once only, i.e. in the first backup job. Subsequently, only the changes within the file made since the previous backup are necessary to be backed up.

Suppose you have a single file as large as 500GB, you can seed load the full backup to a removable local hard drive which we'll supply and then send it to us.

After we load the file only the changes made within the 500GB file, normally less than 1%, i.e. 5GB, of the original file size, are required to be backed up again, this amount of data can be backed up easily in one night. Instead of having to back up 500GB everyday, it is easy to keep the file up-to-date on the backup server.
