What is U-Vault? U-Vault is a data protection service providing secure online data storage through your Johns Hopkins Internet connection or any available Internet connection when not on campus. It installs on your Microsoft Windows system in minutes, and after a brief setup and selection process, it runs automatically in the background every day over your Internet connection to make sure you never lose your papers, homework assignments, research, music, or pictures.
