What is it and how does it work?
The GoVault data protection software is an archiving/capacity-
optimization application designed for use with removable GoVault
cartridges. To better optimize the long-term storage of digital content, the
GoVault data protection software uses innovative technology to virtually
eliminate redundant information stored for a given set of data.
The GoVault data protection software uses a heuristic approach to
optimally segment data, and Common Content Factoring™ to uniquely
identify each segment and store it only once. For a given version of a set
of data, new segments are stored along with metadata used to reconstruct
this version from these new segments and possibly other segments stored
at earlier points in time.
By factoring out common data, the effective capacity of a GoVault
cartridge is significantly increased without loss of functionality and with
increased performance of the archiving system. In short, the GoVault
data protection software makes long-term disk-based archiving fast, easy,
and affordable.
