Online Tape Backup

A Sensible, Reliable Replacement for Out-Dated In-House Tape Backup Systems

Your corporate data is far too valuable to entrust to unreliable tape backup media, cumbersome tape rotation cycles, and painstakingly difficult recoveries. Small and medium-sized organizations are rapidly turning to online backup and recovery to displace older, manual, less reliable tape backup. In fact, over 75% of IT professionals plan to change the way they do backup over the next 18 months.

Current shortcomings to in-house tape backups include:

• Inability to handle the skyrocketing growth in data storage
• Time required to complete tape backup exceeds the window available
• System recovery using off-site tape storage not been tested in emergency failure situation
• System performance degraded by tape backup requirements

Our clients are using online backup and recovery to protect their SQL databases, Exchange systems, applications, and file servers. Online backup and recovery can protect your server data with automatic secure offsite storage, data encryption for reliable server backup and disaster recovery.  Multiple point-in-time copies are automatically maintained to continue the disciplines you use with tape rotation.
