2. Typical Business Challenges
Does my tape back system provide the
instantaneous access and rapid recovery that I
need?
How can I develop a backup plan
without capital expenditure, and not
overloading my IT staff?
Does my backup plan adequately protect my data
from man-made and natural disasters?
Does the location of my backup servers
provide enough geographic diversity to protect
me from a widespread disaster?
Does my backup plan meet the required
regulatory compliance my business must
adhere to?
Does my backup plan provide me enough
flexibility, scalability and control?
How do I know my backup plan
is working as designed?
3. Technology Trends in Backup
• Limited opportunity for backup. Tape is slow.
• Recovering from a tape backup is slow, error prone, and can be difficult
• Equipment challenges. It’s not uncommon for tapes to be usable only in the drives that
wrote the data in the first place.
• Potentially huge benefits, including easy expansion of available disk space, speed
increases that result in more continuous protection, and very fast recovery.
• Simplicity. Create a “set it and trust it” operation when it comes to data protection.
• Reduced infrastructure complexity. Reduce how much equipment is required.
Yesterday’s legacy tape-only backup mechanisms are becoming obsolete
Disk-based backup and recovery architecture makes a lot of sense

Hinweis der Redaktion
Today’s business world is driven by data and business owners want to be assured that their mission critical data remains safe and recoverable. There’s no way to stop Mother Nature if she’s sending a hurricane, tornado, ice storm or earthquake at your data center, Servers and systems will crash without warning, and man-made disasters are just as unpredictable, so the only option is to have a backup plan to ensure that your data remains recoverable. Business owners want the ability to access and recover their data as quickly as possible. They want a backup plan that is controllable, flexible and scalable. They want a backup plan that is affordable and doesn’t consume their limited IT resources.

And moving Disk backup to the Cloud makes for the best solution, as it reduces internal infrastructure, and IT staff attention. Business owners should be able to set the backup policies and trust them because a provider should provide daily verification that the prescribed backup was successfully completed.
