Electronic vaulting (e-vaulting): The transfer of backup data to an off-site storage system using network connections. This method is usually automated and occurs at pre-scheduled times to ensure data availability in case of unexpected events. Its purpose is to protect critical data from site-specific disasters and improve recovery time while maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data through encryption and other means, for example.
