How does it work?

Cold Storage stores your data selections to secure and reliable extremely low cost Amazon AWS server. There is no special configuration from the original backup except that you choose what files to backup to Cold Storage.

Why should I use it?

You should use cold storage with archived data, and data does not require instant access. It's a cost effective way to store rarely accessed data.

How can I select which data to backup as cold storage?

From the Staz client installed on your machine, go to data selection, then select the cold storage tab and add files and folders. The Smart Selection and My Computer selections will be backed up to the regular storage.

How secure is cold storage?

Cold storage is just as secure as Staz's regular storage; your files undergo 3 levels of encryption; 256-AES machine level encryption, transferred via secure sockets layer, and stored on encrypted 256-AES Server Side encryption. The bottom line is that your files are also processed with zero knowledge.

How durable is cold storage?

The service superfluously stores data in multiple facilities and on multiple devices within each facility.

Staz will only store them once on regular storage. If you wish to store on cold storage, please only select them under cold storage tab in the Staz client.
