URGENT Recall on All Tape Drives
March 9th, 2010
Well, at least there SHOULD be! This is 50-year-old technology!
Here are 3 very important reason why it’s time to upgrade to more reliable protection.
1) Tapes have a failure rate of 100%. No, that’s not a typo. Statistically, every single tape drive will fail at some point – it’s only a matter of when.
2) Your network could be inaccessible for days, or even weeks. Most standard backup software using Tape Drives is configured to ONLY back up your data; not your programs, operating system or network settings. If your server crashes or is somehow stolen, corrupted or destroyed, your entire network might have to be rebuilt from scratch – no small feat. Only at that point can your data be reloaded.
3) Human error. Tapes need near perfect care to function properly. Someone has to remember to rotate them every day, take them offsite, and keep them in a dry, cool and clean place – not in a purse or front seat of the car where they can be stolen, melted, frozen or disabled due to moisture, dust or condensation.
