Backup and Recovery Services
Nothing is more important than ensuring that critical business data is backed up. Using industry best practices, and the latest technological advances, Networking Technologies and Support , Inc.(NTS) can create a backup strategy that will ensure that you are protected.
The most basic backup strategy is tape backup. If you are currently using tape backup, you must ensure that you are keep the most critical data, for the right amount of time, to make sure that you can recover your systems in case of failure. NTS can help devise a tape backup strategy, and tape rotation schedule, that will help protect you.
Off-site tape storage is another layer of protection. NTS can offer off-site tape storage to ensure that you have good tape backups in case your building is destroyed.
With the arrival of cheap SATA disk storage comes the realization of disk to disk backups. You could now backup to inexpensive disks reducing your backup window and the amount time needed to restore files. Disk to disk backups also eliminates the problem of bad tape media.
De-duplication takes disk to disk backups to a new level. De-duplication can reduce the amount of data that you are actually backing up by 90% or more for recurring backup operations, and it reduces the bandwidth required to replicate data by a similar factor by eliminating the need to transmit duplicate data elements.
Taking de-duplication to the next level, the data backed up can now be replicated to another data center for disaster recovery. Since de-duplicated data requires less bandwidth and less time to transfer to another datacenter, remote replication is now a viable tool for disaster recovery.
