US DataVault Electronic Documents Backup
New government regulations, such as HIPAA and Sarbanes/Oxley not only require you to backup your emails, but also all electronic documents for a period of 3 to 5 years. Electronic documents are defined as:

• Any Word or text documents
• Any Excel or spreadsheets
• Any electronic notes
• Any instant messages
• Any photos, graphics, or videos
• Any databases
• Any other electronic files created on a business computer

The fines, if found in violation can be very steep. For example, here's Sarbanes-Oxley's section §302. This provision (1) creates an obligation to maintain corporate audit records or review work papers for a period of 5 years from the end of the fiscal period during which the audit or review was concluded and (2) instructs the SEC to promulgate, within 180 days, any necessary rules and regulations relating to the retention of relevant records from an audit or review. This section makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully violate these new provisions (including any rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC) and provides for the imposition of fines, a maximum term of 10 years imprisonment, or both. The rules and regulations to be implemented by the SEC regarding document retention could force accounting firms to retain more records than they have in the past out of fear of criminal prosecution, leading to a greater number of documents subject to discovery by plaintiffs' class action lawyers or criminal investigators.

Overall, your data is redundantly protected by:

• 24-hour guard
• Video surveillance
• Controlled physical access
• Redundant HVAC systems
• Automated fire suppression
• UPS backed by diesel generators
• Redundant ring-on-ring connectivity
• 24x7 staffing
