Boomerang Image: Better than tapes!

  • Hardware and software
  • Snapshots of individual servers
  • Restores in less than 4 hours Help
  • Restores all installed applications
  • 30-day data retention
  • Full access to TAC support

What’s so wrong with tapes? Frankly? There’s nothing wrong with tape backup it’s just generally not enough, not secure and/or not reliable. Tape backup relies heavily on responsible human stewardship. Nightly tape backups can more easily find themselves lost, stolen or corrupted. Tapes are not always encrypted and regular restoration testing is rare.
 
Did we mention the time it takes to restore from tape?

Data restore from tape backups can take up to 16 hours

Consider the Risks: The types of information commonly stored on tapes are trade secrets, financial information, corporate communications, and personal employee identification information. Though it may go home with a well-intentioned and trusted employee each evening (or even you), tapes (and therefore data) can be lost, stolen, and damaged. Click to assess your risk in dollars.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
The established target time a company needs to be back up and running after the declaration of an ‘event’. Common options include 24-48 hours, 4-8 hours, 1 hour, and real-time.
Block Level Backup is a backup that looks at each individual data block as opposed to the entire stored file. Example: You’ve made minor modifications to a file or application that has already been backed up. The next storage update will save only the changes made rather than the entire file, conserving space while preserving the integrity of the data. This allows for an easier restore of files, databases, and even whole servers. Using block level backup you can retain more data, more efficiently.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
The point at which you wish to restore to in the event of a failure or disaster situation. Do you want to recover to the last transaction or will yesterday’s data suffice? We’ll walk you through the options, consequences and benefits to determine the RPO that’s right for your unique business situation.
