Tape drives are out for data backup and storage! Build a better backup with one of these solutions….
Backup / Storage Option 1
Add Hard Drives. This option is cheaper and allows you to utilize your existing backup software and replace, or supplement, your existing tape drive.
Instructions: You simply attach an external hard drive caddy to your server via USB and buy at least 3 portable hard drives for it.
Here is how it is better…
1. Hard drives have 2 - 3 times the capacity of most tapes.
2. Hard drives come with a 5 year warranty as opposed to 1 year on the tapes.
3. Instead of an $800 tape drive, you buy a $25 docking station and travel case.
4. The new “portable” drives are less fragile and will last longer.
5. Over 5 years the Hard Drive solution is about 70% less than traditional tapes.
Backup / Storage Option 2
Disk to Disk. This option is slightly more expensive but brings a lot more feature/functionality. It is an onsite disk to disk block level backup with offsite data replication and archiving. Yeah, I know … sounds complicated but it’s a really simple common sense solution once you’ve wrapped your brain around the geeky vocabulary.
