Speed Up Your Recovery Time
Backing up data is critical for organizations of all sizes. When you consider the choices available, backing up and restoring data from disk is generally faster, easier and more reliable than backing up data from tape. Tape operates on a sequential access basis as opposed to the random access capabilities of disk. This random access enables much faster backups and restores from disk when compared to tape. Due to expanding volumes of data that must be backed up and protected along with shrinking backup windows, many IT departments have moved to or added disk-based backups. However, for long-term storage, keep in mind that tape backup offers a very well-known technology that can be very cost-effective.
