Restore On New Computers

Zoolz provide an easy way to migrate to a

new computers or to resume your backup

without having to restart from the

beginning

For example: You have 2 drives C:\, D:\.

A new Windows installation was installed

on the C drive. After installing Zoolz, you

can choose to resume, Zoolz will

automatically import your previous

settings and database and will resume

where it left off; all files on D will not be

uploaded to the cloud again


Cold Storage Technology

• Cold Storage is a very low cost storage

service, it provide same features as any cloud

storage like instant

upload, browsing, search, previews for photos

and raw images

• The only difference is that it takes around 3

hours for the first file to be restored then

everything will go instantly

• For example: If you upload 1 TB and you requested 1

file, it will take 3 hours for the file to be prepared.

However, if you restore 1000 files, the first file will take 3

hours, then everything will be recovered instantly

• During these 3 hours (Warming Period) you

can shut down your computer, and once its on

and Zoolz starts, it will restore the files without

intervention

Cold Storage = Instant Normal Storage + 3 Hours delay in restore time


Cold Storage Technology

• Cold Storage is suitable for storing huge amount of data for a centuries

• It supports all Zoolz features like Compression, Grouping, Encryption, backup

Internal drives, External drives, Mapped drives and Network drives

• Zoolz Cold Storage will never delete your data even if you disconnect your

drive, once its uploaded it will never be deleted unless you explicitly delete it.


Copy, Encrypt and Ship Service(TM)

• Use at anytime, not just initial seed: Just start the

service at anytime, Zoolz will copy and encrypt the

files, and once completed, Zoolz will resume backup

online.

• View all shipped files instantly on the web: All files

will automatically appear on the web while waiting for

processing and will become available as soon as they

are processed.

• Zero Knowledge processing: All files are encrypted

with your password on the external and processed

encrypted when they arrive.

• Zero Tampering Policy: Zoolz hashes the entire drive

before shipping and compares the hash upon arrival to

ensure the data is intact.

• Unlimited number of drives: You can send all your

data on a single drive or numerous drives; there are no

restrictions on size or number or drives that can be

sent.

Created to allow large amounts of data to bypass the

internet by shipping all files directly to our datacenters
