12. Do you buy lottery tickets
in the faint hope you will win?

13. You stand a much better
chance of losing your
data!!

15. The Evolution of Data Backup
As with everything to do with computers, they
started out BIG, did very little, and took a long
time to do it.

17. Tape Libraries
Each12 inch tape held just 11.25GB of data
at a density of 6250 bits/inch

18. Standard 12” Data Tapes
Each Tape is labeled and placed in a tape
library

19. DLT/LTO Tape
Much higher density and smaller package

20. Tape Library for Cassette Tapes
DLT tapes can hold hundreds of Gigabytes of data

21. Tape has a number of fundamental
problems
It doesn't like temperature changes
Hates the heat
Can’t stand the cold
It doesn’t liked to be dropped
It is heavy
Subject to media instability
Stretches
Prone to data drop out

23. The removable Disk
Tough portable Disk Drive

24. Disk to Disk Backup
• Same disadvantages as tape
– They don’t like temperature changes
– Even tough drives don’t like hard knocks
– Require physical handling

25. Network Security
There is no point trying to secure your
Business Class data with Consumer Class
equipment.
A $50 device will not give you the
Business Class Protection you need.

26. The difference
Consumer class
protection
Business class protection

28. Outside the box
There has to be a better way!

29. There is:
Gone are the tapes
Gone is the requirement for staff to handle the tapes
Gone is the requirement to store tapes in a library
Gone is the headache of finding the right restore tape or disk drive
Gone is the requirement of multiple backup tapes or disk drives
Gone is the lost file
The solution is!

30. Secure, encrypted
Internet
connectivity
Local data storage, full
server image and
incremental data copy 2
Client Server
copy 1
Secure Data Vault where
data is stored in an
encrypted format copy 3

31. When do we need Data Security?

32. When Data Loss is Not an Option!
