A Cost-Effective Integrated Solution for Backup and Disaster Recovery

Recovery is something for which all businesses must prepare. Most acknowledge the need for comprehensive business continuity plans, but the expense and complexity of fully implementing these plans leads many enterprises to only partially implement them. Business continuity plans generally cover Information Technology (IT) infrastructure (applications and data), communications, people, and process recovery. This white paper discusses a cost-effective approach to providing IT infrastructure recovery solutions to meet remote (disaster recovery) and local (backup) requirements. IT infrastructure recovery generally revolves around application and data recovery, which translates to several separate types of products: backup software that is used for local backup and restore, shipping services to transport backup tapes to remote locations.
