Storage
DartFS - Network Attached Data Storage
Storage with snapshots is the default type of storage we provide. The snapshots will provide self-service protection against unintentional deletion/modification of the files. Snapshots are available immediately to the user for the following durations:
- Daily for a week
- Weekly for a month
- Monthly for 3 months
Storage without snapshots is available at a lower cost. It is appropriate for data that can easily be reproduced.
Off-site backup is a paid service that provides copies of data in the cloud or on removable media.
