The fact that tape – the de-facto method for protecting data – simply doesn’t work is becoming too obvious to ignore. Industry analysts have long noted that tape backups fail to fully restore as much as 50% of the time. This level of avoidable risk is indefensible. After all, which half of data can you afford to lose? The customer orders, your email, the client records, the invoices? Fact is, nearly all of a company’s data is critical to ongoing operations and can’t be placed in jeopardy. A hot, new approach to data protection promises to address the challenges posed by today’s tape-based backup solutions. This White Paper presents the Top 10 reasons why disk-based online backup and recovery is replacing tape at today’s small and medium businesses and for organizations with remote branch offices that need a solution for centralizing backup policies and procedures across all locations.
