Are you really sure your backup is working?
Backing up your data is one the most critical areas of IT Infrastructure.
Most organisations we talk to already have backup process and systems in place,
but a large number do not know what is backed up or when it was last restored.
While backing up your data is obviously important, it is actually the restoring
of that data that is critical objective.
With the responsibilities that are needed today, test data restores are commonly
put off until later, especially within small to medium sized businesses.
There is just too little time to look at everything and even companies that have
implemented a solid backup policy are not always sure if it includes all the new
applications, folder structures and databases that have been deployed.
The four main reasons for not deploying and following a solid, off site backup &
test restore policy are:
- It is really expensive! Not only are the devices and tapes expensive, the requirements
always grow – especially if you regularly backup the vital data on please be PC’s
and laptops
- Tapes are a hassle to change and to keep off site, and to gain access to then when
they are off site.
- Most of the data is on Laptops and Mobile devices (iPads, etc) so we trust our users
to perform periodic backups
- It is time consuming to restore files, find the space to restore them to (especially
with large databases) and them to get our users to test them.
While these are all too common, it is contradictory to the importance data has within
an organisation and the speed and frequency access is required.

With pro-active real time checking and verification of what is backed up you can

Because your data is quick and easy to get at (no need to slowly search tapes)
you can periodically restore and test files to ensure everything is OK.

In conjunction with our secure, easy
