Comparing Disk And Tape For
Data Protection
Disk is good for...
– Backup when:
• There are limited IT resources
• Fast file restore is a high
priority
• Need to keep multiple weeks
of backup data at hand
– Disaster recovery when:
• Using network efficient data
replication over a LAN/WAN
(use with off-load to tape to
keep a copy of data off-line)
Tape is good for...
– Backup when:
• In performance streaming apps
• Data isn’t mission critical
• Requirement is for a single
data protection solution
– Disaster recovery when:
• Data replication is not required
– Archival / compliance
(in all circumstances)
