Business Continuity

You can say that I am ever so cautious, but it is important to be aware that if your business office was destroyed completely, replacing physical hardware is a simple procedure. Recovering the data that was stored on those computers however is much more difficult. Ensuring you have up to date backup within your company is essential

Using the traditional backup procedures of Copy, Full, Incremental or Differential and considering the Backup window, Network bandwidth and the size of the data; performing full backup of the entire Data for a company can be time consuming. Also there is point of failure in a restore if any of the backup tapes are missing. With the latest technology of cheaper and faster disks, new storage solutions are available.

What is Disk Base Backup?
Disk Based Backup uses a hard drive rather than another type of storage medium. A disk-based solution typical writes to the same data to a file on a disk volume as it would write to a tape drive. Therefore, when a backup to disk operation is finished a single file the size of the backup will exist on disk that contains all the backed up data.

What is Backup Disk to LAN?

In a Backup Disk to LAN situation, data on the LAN is backed up by Backup Exec software on to a disk (such as NAS appliance, JBOD, or Disk Array) instead of traditional media such as tape or tape library.

New Storage backup solutions that incorporate backup to disk offer significant benefits over traditional backup media such as tape drives and tape libraries. These benefits include:

Faster backup and recovery
Improved media reliability
Reduced IT interventions and management
