+Works with:
-For each _Primary_ storage provider that is being protected, a separate secondary or _Backup_ provider is configured. For maximum availability the backup cloud should be located in another data center. It could also be with different cloud vendor, storage technology or tier.

+The ForeverFile™ archive is a backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware protection feature that continuously protects data, wherever it is stored.
-ForeverFile continuously replicates all files from the primary to secondary storage. When primary files are deleted, by default, that operation is not propagated to the secondary. This means the ForeverFile file archive is holding a complete version history. Similarly, older versions are preserved for rename and move operations.
