SpaceVault

File Restoration Service

What is SpaceVault?

SpaceVault offers an extra level of security over your data, especially when shared with others. SpaceVault enables restoration of your data to an earlier point in time. SpaceVault is a service that sits on top of the Space Data Retention Policy

Compatibility

SpaceVault works with DeepSpace and WorkSpace. SpaceVault is a companion to, but distinct from TimeVault, designed to backup OwnTime virtual machine-internal storage.

How do I restore my data?

Restoration is requested through help.intersect.org.au.  You will need to specify your SpacePlan, the name of your data collection, a selection criteria for the files you want to restore, such as filename or path (regular expressions are supported) and file owner, along with a date range; typically this will be the dates you think the file data is intact. SpaceVault will use this information to scan for files that match your criteria; these will be candidate files to restore.

To give you fast access to your restored data, it will be copied to a special Space filesystem for up to 30 days. This transient storage does not count towards your SpacePlan storage quota.

Who can request restoration?

Only the owner (or authorised  representative) of a SpacePlan containing the SpaceVault service can request restoration of your data, and it requires approval through the help.intersect.org.au ticketing system to ensure auditability.

Service Limits

SpaceVault includes one standard restoration per collection per month. Additional restoration requests are at additional cost by agreement. Please get in touch for any special requests.
