Before you start
Common questions about Automated Backups & Secure Storage
Is secure file storage the same as backup?
No. Storage supports active access and collaboration. Backup preserves recoverable copies against deletion, corruption, failure, or attack. Important storage still needs a separate, tested backup and recovery plan.
Is this the same as managed cloud hosting?
No. Cloud hosting provides infrastructure for websites, applications, or services. This offering focuses on organizational files, permissions, sharing, retention, and information governance.
Can Asban migrate files from shared drives or cloud folders?
Yes, after ownership, duplicates, sensitive material, permissions, naming, retention, unsupported files, links, volume, and rollback requirements have been assessed.
