Data Backup - Data Size vs Recovery Speed |
 |
|
The bigger your backup, the slower your recovery.
|
 |
|
Studies show that only
40% - 60% of the data we store is really needed
for recovery. But which data is that?
|
 |
|
It may be easy to identify business critical applications,
but it’s much more difficult
to identify each application's critical files. What to do?
|
 |
|
Replication or mirroring provides great
availability protection, but you still need the backups.
|
 |
|
Incremental backup techniques minimize backup time,
But they cost you:
a significant increase in restore time.
Incremental backup delays business recovery.
|
 |
|
And it's really all about recovery, isn't it?
|
 |
