Backup Media Failure
Backup media is notoriously failure-prone.
Remote Data Backups is far more reliable.
Whether you are backing up to
tape, DVD,
CD, Jaz,
Zip or floppy, you are risking data loss due to media
degradation.
Over time, both magnetic and optical media begin to lose
their ability to keep error-free data. Although media vendors advertise average
lifetimes of years or decades and thousands of rewrites, the actual lifetimes
of these media are often less than a year.
- Backup media are
vulnerable to damage by the environment (heat, sunlight, humidity, liquids,
dust) and human mishandling (scratching, bending and dropping). They can also
be easily lost or stolen.
- Magnetic backup media can also be damaged by
electromagnetic fields emitted by televisions, monitors, speakers and other
electronic devices.
Remote Data Backups provides a better solution: safe,
cost-effective offsite backups at mirrored
data centers with state-of-the-art archiving technology. |
