Analyze the criteria below and complete the assignment. Use the list of references at the bottom that are relevant to the assignment. Reference and cite all sources used throughout your response. Make your response as lengthy as your word limit allows. Don’t sound like AI! Your response should avoid all AI detection and plagiarism detection!

After reading Module 5 in Whitman, M. E., & Mattord, H. J. (2022). Principles of Information Security (7th ed.). Cengage Learning, conduct research on backup media and systems (tapes, disks, NAS/SAN, cloud backup, etc.).
Pay particular attention to the following criteria:
Capacity of storage and network bandwidth
Costs of Use and Maintenance
Ability to perform a "bare metal" restore.
After describing several alternatives, make and defend a recommendation for a mission critical server with 50 TBytes of storage. For the purposes of this assignment, assume the server is on premises (e.g. not a virtual server in the cloud).
There is no required format, but it should be well organized, easy to understand, and well formatted.
After the final page of your assignment, add a "Works Cited" page with the sources you cited in your paper using APA citations. Each cited source should correspond to a citation in your paper. 

I'm expecting a well-researched and thought out report, not just a quick Internet search followed by a bunch of copy-n-paste operations. You will be graded on both the content and your level of understanding of the topic.
Requirements and Expectations
Your report should be:
Cover the topic of the ability to do a "bare metal" restore
Make and justify a recommendation
TurnItIn similarity score must not exceed 20%
