There are two types of company. those who have lost data and those that will lose data !

Computer backup is a process that everybody hates to do, but is a necessity to ensure one of your most important company assets is securely protected. Many businesses think that they are already doing backup but they fail to consider its efficiency and effectiveness.

You should ask yourself:

• Do you back-up daily?
• Do you test to see if your backup is successful?
• Do you take duplicate copies?
• Are these kept in a secure place offsite?
• Do you carry out regular recovery excercises?
• Do you replace your backup media every 12 months?
• Do you replace your backup hardware every 24 to 36 months?
• Is Backup costing your company too much time and money?

Traditional backup & recovery software normally requires extra tape drive hardware if it is to give a secure reliable service. The trouble with tape drives is the need to remember to change the tapes, duplicate the data, store them off site in a manner that will not degrade the tape, take them back again for re-use, replace the tape media every 12 months, replace the tape drives every 2 to 3 years etc.

I wonder how many systems are not properly backed up at any one time.  Moreover the business owner normally has to do this for himself because no one else is quite that interested in data protection and most SMEs do not have in-house IT staff.

Of the companies that do actually take nightly backups, how many do regular data recovery exercises to ensure that their backups have been effective, and that their data is really recoverable? Or how many just trust that it will be, and find out all is not well when they have a system failure and are forced to try to recover.

Now here is a solution that is actually less expensive if you calculate the full cost of tapes, hardware and time etc.
