Issue
If you still rely on old-fashioned backup tapes your business continuity plan may no longer be fit for purpose. On average, your data will double in volume every 18 months (Source - Gartner, 2009).
Tape is slow, inflexible and unreliable
- Changing tapes takes time
- Waiting for backup tapes to arrive delays recovery
- Tape backups do not always work - so neither does recovery
- The hidden costs of tape: staff admin, software licences, hardware, off-site storage, retrieval fees, maintenance
- Tapes can go missing in transit
"Today it is no longer sufficient to just protect the data behind
a given process. After all, the services which we supply to our
clients are now almost entirely reliant on IT for delivery."
Stuart Whittle, Head of Information Systems | Weightmans

"Business continuity is often something for which organisations
begrudge paying as it can be hard to see an immediate return
on investment...Having a clearly defined business continuity plan in
place helped save the business. The damage we would have
sustained otherwise is incalculable."
Gary Thomas, Head of IT Operations | Irwin Mitchell
