The amount of data that exists today, and the need to maintain and protect that data, is increasing dramatically. For small and midsize businesses whose focus is largely on providing products and services to their clients, backup and data protection rarely get the attention they require. This often leads to a "hope for the best" approach among SMBs wherein data is partially (at best) backed up, and unless disaster strikes everything should continue to operate smoothly. Clearly, a new approach is needed.

This white paper outlines a new, removable disk-based solution to these challenges that combines the best features of both disk and tape. Combining disk's ease of use, shorter backup windows and high backup and recovery success rates with tape's durability, infinite capacity and portability, this new technology can give SMBs the confidence and tools they need to successfully complete backups/recovery. Read on to learn about this new technology.
