What does Fwd:Vault do?

Fwd:Vault enables users to backup data without installing any hardware or software. Our system securely archives messages and attachments sent to our special storage email address. Messages and files can be recovered directly through email, and our website provides tools for managing and sharing data. Users can also store files through the website.

How are they different?

It’s the only backup service that doesn’t require the user to do anything new, just use your existing web browser and email address. It’s a low-tech, no-tech method to centralize, backup, and share your digital stuff.

Without software to install, hardware to configure, and nothing new to learn, we make data backups available to everyone regardless of skill or situation.

Why could Fwd:Vault be BIG?

Online data backups is a huge market, but there are plenty of unserved niches. For example:

- Real estate agents, investment agents, & accountants can all work independently, yet must comply with data retention regulations. These groups can use our email backup feature to save all their communications in real-time, no need to hire expensive IT consultants.

- Litigation holds require businesses to immediately secure data dealing with a lawsuit, but most do not have infrastructure in place to handle the sweeping request. Without any setup, Fwd:Vault provides the necessary infrastructure with a minimum of effort, i.e. “Send everything you have pertaining to Company XYZ to our Fwd:Vault account.”

- Schools/districts/colleges can offer Fwd:Vault to their student body to secure classwork with no increase in IT overhead. Teachers can put Fwd:Vault info at the top of syllabus & never accept another “I lost homework” excuse. Schools can actually *make* money with our affiliate program.

How they plan to make money:

Our service is available via monthly subscription.

We provide special packages to large groups and organizations.

Our thoughts:

No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
