Data Protection
Your data, your control. Never lose a transaction file with DocJacket's comprehensive data protection and backup systems.
Your Data, Your Control
Transaction coordinators handle millions of dollars in real estate deals, and losing even one document can derail a closing and damage professional relationships. DocJacket is built on the principle that you should never have to worry about data loss, and you should always maintain complete control over your transaction files.
We've designed multiple layers of protection to ensure your closing documents, contracts, and communications are always safe, always accessible, and always under your control. Whether you're managing 5 deals or 50, your data integrity is our top priority.
Zero Data Loss Guarantee
We've never lost a transaction file, and we never will. Here's how we guarantee it:
Triple Backup Protection
- Primary Storage: Your files live in enterprise-grade Azure cloud storage
- Automatic Backups: Daily snapshots stored in separate geographic regions
- Personal Backup: Optional Google Drive sync puts copies in your own cloud storage
- Local Export: Download complete transaction folders anytime for offline backup
Point-in-Time Recovery
Accidentally deleted a contract? No problem. We can restore any file to exactly how it was at any point in the last 35 days - down to the minute.
"I accidentally deleted my closing statement on Friday at 4 PM. DocJacket restored it exactly as it was - saved my weekend!" - Sarah K., Transaction Coordinator
Version History
Every document change is tracked with timestamps and author information. See who changed what, when, and restore any previous version instantly.
Perfect for tracking contract amendments and keeping an audit trail for compliance.
Immutable Document Storage
Final contracts and closing documents are stored with Write-Once, Read-Many protection. Once marked final, they cannot be modified or deleted - meeting legal compliance requirements.
99.9% Uptime Guarantee
Microsoft-backed Service Level Agreement ensures your files are accessible 24/7. If we don't meet 99.9% uptime, you get service credits.
Your closing files are more reliable than your office internet connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?
You have 30 days of full access to export all your data in standard formats. After 30 days, we maintain read-only archives for 90 days for emergency access, and backup retention for 365 days for compliance purposes.
Can I export data for specific time periods or transactions?
Yes, you can export individual transactions, date ranges, specific document types, or your complete portfolio. All exports maintain folder structure and include metadata.
How does Google Drive integration work with my existing folders?
DocJacket creates a dedicated "DocJacket Transactions" folder in your Drive and syncs transaction data there. It doesn't interfere with your existing Drive organization.
What's the difference between your backups and Google Drive sync?
Our enterprise backups provide point-in-time recovery and are optimized for business continuity. Google Drive sync gives you personal ownership of file copies in your own cloud storage. Together, they provide maximum protection.
How quickly can you restore data if something goes wrong?
Our Recovery Time Objective is 4 hours maximum, meaning your data will be fully accessible within 4 hours of any incident. For most issues, recovery happens in minutes.
Do you ever access or use our transaction data?
Never. We maintain a zero-access policy for customer data. DocJacket employees cannot access your transactions, documents, or communications. Even for support, we ask you to share specific information rather than accessing your account.
