Off-Site Tape Vaulting

Reliable data protection has never been more essential

For organizations using tape as a backup medium, data backup and vaulting are no longer the straightforward tasks they once were. Recent trends have created new requirements, risks and expectations:

* Explosive data growth, combined with litigation and compliance pressures, requires that the data on backup tapes be easy to search and retrieve
* The growth of identity theft and network intrusions has heightened the need for backed-up data to be secured during transit and in storage
* Recent disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, remind us how important it is to protect backup media and rapidly recover data to support business continuity
