History
Established in 1997 as a provider of cloud services, EVault experienced significant expansion fueled by both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of the Open File Manager technology from St. Bernard Software. In 2007, Seagate Technology acquired EVault for $185 million. The following year, Seagate merged EVault with other assets under the i365 brand umbrella. After corporate restructuring, the EVault brand was revived in 2011.
In December 2015, Carbonite purchased Seagate's EVault cloud backup business and brand for $14 million. By April 2017, Carbonite had rebranded EVault's offerings under the Carbonite Server Backup name. Subsequently, in 2019, OpenText acquired Carbonite for $1.42 billion.
