Backup Solutions - what is the value of your data compared to the cost of the back-up solution?

In a graphics environment where file sizes are large, removable media back-up is a must. Copies can be kept off site for the purpose of disaster recovery (fire, flood, theft), period ends can be archived, files deleted in error can be restored - Tape is still the best for backup.

Mach One will consult and plan your back-up solution. There are many variables to consider when doing this including volume of data, timing of each back-up, and what a lot of people forget, acceptable downtime in the case of total hardware failure.

Mach One will provide you with a solution that runs with the award winning EMC Dantz Retrospect software. It can protect servers, desktops and notebooks, the software is easy to manage and self-adjusting. Back-ups are fast and scheduled so they can run outside of office hours so as to cause zero disruption, plus the Smart Restores™ run with unparalleled accuracy.

Retrospect would be coupled with an AIT or LTO tape back-up drive. The media is low-cost, stable and high-capacity. The high data transfer rates means that the AIT/LTO drive is both rapid in backing up data and the seek/retrieval of files.

“43% of companies that experience a severe data loss disaster, and that have no recovery plan in place, never re-open. A further 17% will shut-down within 6 months”
