Selecting backup devices and media

Selecting backup devices and media

Many tools are available for backing up data. Some are fast and expensive, and others are slow but very reliable. The backup solution that’s right for your organization depends on many factors, including the following:

? Capacity The amount of data you need to back up on a routine basis. Can the backup hardware support the required load given your time and resource constraints?

? Reliability The reliability of the backup hardware and media. Can you afford to sacrifice reliability to meet budget or time needs?

? Extensibility The extensibility of the backup solution. Will this solution meet your needs as the organization grows?

? Speed The speed with which data can be backed up and recovered. Can you afford to sacrifice speed with server or service downtime to reduce costs?

? Cost The cost of the backup solution. Does it fit your budget?
