History

KeepVault was first created by Proxure in 2006. In January 2012 Proxure was acquired by AuthenTec, Inc. Following AuthenTec, Inc.’s acquisition by Apple, Inc., KeepVault was acquired by a group of the original developers and became an independent company.

Products

Keepvault offers a Windows desktop application and a Windows Server Add-in, and has two plan types as well as free local backup.

OEM Distribution

In 2007 KeepVault was an early OEM vendor for backup when Microsoft launched Windows Home Server. KeepVault was shipped on the HP Data Vault and HP Mediasmart servers.
Starting in 2013, the KeepVault Dashboard Add-in is preinstalled on the Western Digital Sentinel server series.

Backup Awareness Week

As a joint business and community effort KeepVault launched Backup Awareness Week in May of 2014. “Backup Week” is designed to educate the public about the risks of data loss, and ways to protect their data.

Criticism

In 2008 bloggers complained about the end of unlimited data plans. Since then KeepVault has taken the position that unlimited plans are unsustainable.
