Disk-Based Backup Eases Backup/Restore Pain

Backing up and restoring your company’s data from tape has always been a tedious (and sometimes frustrating) task.  Enter: disk-based-backup…Adding a layer of RAID-protected disk in between your servers and tape library will shink your backup window while greatly improving backup and restore times.  Tape is then used as the “end of the road” for the data so it can be shipped offsite for DR purposes. 

Overland Data’s REO line of disk-based-backup appliances are the hottest-selling product in this space and for good reason. They offer models that scale from 500GB to 48TB, have fiber and iSCSI connectivity, can be configured as straight RAID or a Virtual Tape Library (it seemlessly mimics a tape library to your backup software).
