Comparing ioSafe disaster ready backup hardware to traditional strategies

Disk-to-Tape Backup

•  Tape storage requires in-depth procedures with vaulting service for successful recovery

•  Tape is a chronically plagued medium requiring continual testing for data availability

•  Off site strategy makes regulatory compliance (HIPAA, SOX…) difficult

Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape Backup

•  Reliance on tape solution does not reduce the possibility of human error

•  Much more expensive and still requires off-site vaulting for a complete solution

Online Backup

•  Limited capacity hinders bare metal server recovery and RTO

•  Adds to WAN congestion

•  Backup window might not be large enough for complete server backup

Combination Online and Tape

•  Expensive recurring monthly fees in addition to cost of hardware, media, time, etc.

•  Requires offsite tape vaulting strategy in order to limit rapid growth of

online data cost

Recovery time and recovery point objectives considered with the ease of use, protection, stability and security.
