Protecting your business's data against accident is essential in the modern business world. It is important to ensure that should the worst happen and your data is lost in a disaster that it can be smoothly and quickly recovered, allowing you to make a speedy recovery and minimise your losses. While tape storage has for a long time been the default method of large scale data protection disk based solutions are becoming increasingly common. Compared to tape, backing up to disk has several advantages, most notably in speed. Disk backup involves much quicker access times and easier availability, ensuring that your backup procedures can occur with minimum impact on your workflow as well as meaning data recovery is fast, which means you can be back in business as soon as possible.
