Enterprise-wide Backup, Restore and Disaster Recovery

Is my tape backup working?
Can my business and information systems withstand an unexpected disaster?
Will I be able to recover my business critical information before I GO OUT OF BUSINESS?!

The problem with existing data management solutions:

As a business owner or IT Administrator, you understand the importance of offsite data backup, whether to insure against natural or man-made disasters, local events like system failures, or simply to comply with industry standards and government regulations.

However, existing solutions are proving to be labor-intensive, costly and insufficient in meeting your needs. The continued growth of remote office data persistently poses one of your greatest challenges. Typically, each remote site has been managed as an independent data island and equipped with a dedicated set of IT infrastructure which includes backup software and hardware.

The lack of expertise and overall variability in operations has led to questionable backup processes in many remote office environments. Backups are often not run on a regular schedule or fail frequently. Tapes are taken off-site on a sporadic basis and misplaced. Consequently, the data recoverability success rate in some cases is below 50%!

Challenges with current backup and recovery tape solutions:

Backup Window:

As data grows the time it takes to backup lengthens. The window to backup remains the same which forces many companies to back up incrementally or not at all.

Media Management:

Physically inserting, removing and transporting tapes is a hassle. Also the fact that backups typically span many tapes makes restores more difficult. Storing tapes in an organized fashion also can become labor intensive for some companies with many locations and large backup sets.

Consumption of Human Resources:

By using tape for backup which is a manual process, it requires daily interaction and attention to assure which tapes are being rotated, shipped offsite, and retrieved for restoration or overwritten.

Other issues are:

Recoveries take too long and often fail
You do not know whether your data is restorable until you perform a restore
Tape solutions do not scale like disk solutions do. A 100 slot library is a 100 slot library
Tape backup handles files at the file level which causes the same file to exist in many backup sets
Incremental or continuous capture is not an option so last night's backup is typically the most recent
