Effective data backup solutions include: installation, maintenance and support of a reliable, high speed, high capacity tape backup and data storage systems.
Effective tape backups strategies include: daily back ups of every file, e-mail, web, database, and web servers with frequent data daily changes.
Database servers such as Exchange, SQL and Oracle servers utilize special backup agents to allow for granular or brick level restores.
Could your company successfully restore last night's data or an entire server should a catastrophic event occur? A company’s servers should be backed up every day and those backups should be tested at regular intervals. As the amount of information companies accumulate continues to expand, the need for data storage is growing exponentially. Yet frequently, data backup solutions fail to grow with the new environment. Companies that a few years ago backed up 20 gigabytes of data daily, now may backup 500 gigabytes or even terabytes of data every day. Full tape backups that previously could be completed nightly are now only partial backups requiring multiple tapes. As a result, restores may take days and should one of those backup tapes fail, the data may be irretrievable. Your company cannot afford to lose valuable data or to spend precious time attempting to recover that data when this unfortunate event occurs.
An effective backup strategy involves entirely backing up every server daily that have frequent data changes. Servers that typically fall in this category are: file, e-mail, web, database, and intranet servers. Due to the nature of servers that contain databases such as Exchange, SQL and Oracle, special backup agents must also be installed and updated frequently on those systems. Quite often even major corporations neglect to update their database backups and consequently can’t restore critical systems when a system fails or disaster strikes.
A reliable, high speed, high capacity backup system is essential for every company that relies heavily on data to compete in today’s economy. Complete Systems Design has installed backup solutions for large and small companies, tailoring the solution to meet each company’s backup needs for today, while anticipating tomorrow’s growth.
