What is the importance of a backup if data is not available when you need it?

Traditionally, data is being backed up on large tape libraries. But does that really suffice the corporate needs today? Well that depends on your Recovery Time Objective.


The traditional tape backups have there own limitations –

~  Compromised Backup Speeds
~  Slow Restore Speeds
~  Less Reliability of tapes
~  Costly Tape Media
~  Complex Media Management
~  Labor Intensive

With hard disk now being used as backup device, all these bottlenecks can be easily overcome.
