HP can help you protect the integrity of your data and regain access to it when you need it. We have a range of change-ready, cost-effective, and trusted solutions that provide the appropriate level of protection based on your specific business requirements. Our data protection and recovery solutions are compatible and scalable--growing and adapting to your changing business demands. They come in a wide variety of choices, ranging from tape backup to multiple layers of online, nearline and offline protection. And the newer technologies--such as disk-to-disk backup, virtual tape libraries, data deduplication, and low-cost hard drives--enable you to add layers of data protection that go beyond traditional solutions at prices that are more affordable than ever. These include:

• Traditional backup options that help you protect against viruses and data corruption while enabling you to reduce the effects of user error
• Two-stage backup, which improves the recovery time when compared to tape alone
• Two-stage backup with virtual tape, which increases backup and recovery performance while also improving system and user efficiency
