6. Stretching your backup budget: Option 1 Just as Karen called in her expert home inspector… You can allow the experts at InfoQuest.Com to help you with backup - even if your data resides in-house. Image Source: Flickr User: Mai Le

7. Would Karen and Jack be willing to pay more for a brand new house in the same location? Of course they would! Analogy 2 Image Source: Flickr User: laurenatclemson

8. Stretching your backup budget: Option 2 Don’t treat all your data the same way! E.g. Young data is more valuable than older data and hence requires faster RTO/RPO objectives. Establish different SLAs at different costs for different types of data (or even data sets) Image Source: Flickr User: Chovee

9. Both Jack and Karen were able to afford a house and live a good lifestyle because they had the ability to pay on a monthly basis. Analogy 3 Image Source: Flickr User: TheTruthAbout

10. Stretching your backup budget: Option 3 Take the backup asset off your own books. Switch to Opex by backing up to a service provider. Pay monthly, based on usage. Image Source: Flickr User: turkeychik
