Conference Message: Disk-to-Disk Backup

In a Network World report by Deni Connor, the news was all about the increasing switch from tape backups to disk-to-disk solutions. Of particular note is trend towards being unable to wait the length of time required for a tape-based restoration operation. The opening line of the report says it all: "The problem isn't really about backing up data, it has more to do with recovering it."

More fun points:

  • Enterprise Storage Group claims over half their customers plan to backup to disk Real Soon Now.
  • One analyst cites space concerns as factoring into the decision to switch from tape to disk backups, claiming the disk backups will "use three times less space".
