How To Protect Your Data With Automated Tape Libraries

This video show the how to protect your data with automated tape libraries allow for centralized data storage back-up.

IT budgets can be tight for small businesses. So many times data protection options may not make the cut. However, any business that chooses to operate without a safety net is taking a serious risk.

Losing critical business data can be crippling for most businesses and for some it may be a loss from which they simply can't recover. At the fundamental level you'll want to look at the system components and build in some redundancy, so that if a component fails for some reason, the system will stay up and running and operational. Plenty of options are available for local back-up protection... ...ranging in sizes and speeds.

But without an offsite storage option, your business's data may still be at risk. If you're looking to back up about 10 gigabytes of information, the services that come with our Vostro products are exceptional, and those are easy to use. If you're backing up information up to, say, 160 gigabytes, an RD1000 product, which is in our PowerVault line, is something that can be ported from system to system.

You can back up as much information to it as possible and you can continue to buy media once you fill up each cartridge. So that's very convenient.

If you would like to centralize your back-ups in one location, they'll have some automated tape libraries that will enable you to back up terabytes of information in a central location, and there's software and tools that will enable you to automatically recover information at any time you need it.

If your business operates in more than one physical location, your back-up options may need to grow accordingly. Let's say that your small business is located in four different places.

You could have one back-up administrator in the headquarters who is using replication technologies to mirror information from three remote sites back to the headquarters, and then that back-up administrator simply uses tape or disk technology to protect that information at the headquarter level.
