Providing room to grow and expand the backup system is a must. Tape libraries offering capacity in the range of several terabytes are not uncommon today. Parallel data streaming in multi-drive tape libraries allows backups to be completed within smaller backup windows. Two or more drives per unit provide a degree of fault tolerance, since of a drive fails, the remaining will be able to finish the backup process. Some multi-drive tape libraries are capable of simultaneous backup and restore, operating on different machines and volumes.
Tape automation is irreplaceable when disaster recovery is considered.
Sometimes, this is the only way a backup can be acomplished, due to common extremely narrow backup windows. Contact us to learn more about tape backup and tape automation technology and how we can help your organization implement it. All Rights Reserved.
