Why Remote Backup?
QUESTION: What is your current backup costing you?
To answer that question we should look at the entire picture: amount of time needed for running backup processes, validating data and reporting, any manual procedures, hardware issue resolution, cost of equipment, cost of parts etc.
All these items can be expensive if looked at in detail. For instance, the hardware. How much are your backup tapes costing you? How much does a tape drive or library cost you? How often do they fail or need to be replaced? And what is the price to your organization to troubleshoot tape backup processes when a failure happens? What does it cost to train your team to perform all the above, keeping in mind any turnover?
