When was your last good backup? How important is disaster recovery to you?
Click here - Top 10 Reasons for Remote Backup and Disaster Recovery
We have all been there before. Something happened to our file, our folder, our server, or even our building. We don't know if, how, or when we will recover the data that was on our hard drive. Realizing that your data may be lost forever is not a pleasant experience, to say the least.
A big part of the problem is that most small businesses do not think to test the reliability of their backup systems. In fact, in a recent survey, Storage Magazine found that nearly 34 percent of businesses did not test their backups regularly; and of the businesses that did, 77 percent found they were unable to fully recover data from those tapes.
There are many inherent disadvantages to traditional tape backup systems. We have found that tape backup problems are the number one call that our support help desk receives every year. Couple this with the fact that tape technology is probably one of the only computer technologies to increase in cost dramatically in the last 5 years, it makes one seriously question the economics of an all-tape based backup solution.
Why is online, disk backup better than tape?
- Data recovery from backup tapes fail more than 50% of the time
- 20% of nightly tape-based backup jobs fail
- Elimination of time required to administer tape backups, rotating tapes, taking tapes off-site, checking logs, etc.
- Reduced cost compared to tape solutions
- Widely adopted technology that scales very well
- Little, if any, downtime during file restores
