| Q: | Why do we need a tape backup system? |
| A: | It is no longer "good enough" to back up a few files to floppy disk and call it a day. In the event of data corruption, most modern software - especially programs such as database and accounting systems - require restoring a complete "snapshot" of all of their files at a given point in time. In addition, it takes much longer and is much more expensive to pay us to rebuild your file server, reload the software, and reload all of your applications from scratch if we can't restore a full backup from tape. If you have a good tape backup system which can back up all of your server's data onto a single tape cassette or cartridge, that's all you need, along with a file server, boot floppies, and operating system media, to recreate your server from scratch. Even if your office burned to the ground, as long as you have a good backup tape, we can restore and recreate your server quite easily. Your data IS your company. |
