7 Things You Must Know When Moving to Disk-Based Backup with Data De-Duplication

Everyone agrees: The era of disk-based backup with data de-duplication has arrived. Despite its low cost, magnetic tape as a medium for backup data is cumbersome and time consuming - and as the amount of data that organizations need to backup grows, so does the time it takes to backup that data with tape. Disk-based backup with the benefit of byte-level data de-duplication technology dramatically lowers the cost of backing up to disk -- a cost that's now comparable to tape. Backing up to disk instead of tape eliminates the hassles of tape, provides remarkably faster backups and restores, improved reliably, security and streamlined operation...
