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. Your files are securely backed up at an off site location where only you have access to them. Why do I need U-Vault? With the prevalence of viruses and spyware in today's information environment, having a backup strategy is crucial. Even if you accidentally deleted a file by emptying the Recycle Bin, with U-Vault, you have assurance in advance that you can "Get It Back Instantly."
