Tapeguard For A Secure Backup Tape Offsite
The two most popular forms of computer data protection are tape backup and online backup. As Internet technologies continue to improve over time, online backup increasingly challenges tape backup as the best data protection solution.
Data protected by online offsite remote backup is automatically encrypted in transit and in storage, whereas companies who take care of their own backup with tapes can and have easily neglected to either encrypt their vulnerable data and/or store it securely. Moreover, digital information cannot decompose over time as magnetic tape can. However, this does not mean that it is not possible for businesses that prefer to use tape backup to do so with the same level of security as online backup and with a high level of tape preservation. They can house their backup tape offsite.
By keeping backup tape offsite, businesses can use tapes to protect their data with the same high level of security and quality service as businesses who use online offsite remote backup. For example, Iron Mountain, the same company that provides the widely-respected Livevault Online Backup, also provides a service to store backup tape offsite called TapeGuard.
Just as Iron Mountain's underground facilities can be depended upon to safeguard the remote servers that safely store data online, the company offers secure, climate-controlled vaults to protect data on tape. This practice to backup tape offsite ensures that tapes remain protected not only from unauthorized users, but from damaging environmental conditions. With the help of Iron Mountain, your backup tapes can not only share with online backup the protection of a secure, remote location, but the power and convenience of the Internet. With TapeGuard, you can use your web browser anytime to manage your tape library. The many modern benefits of storing your backup tape offsite with a trusted company pushes conventional tape backup on par with contemporary online backup as a practical data protection solution. In the event that your business must undergo disaster recovery, Iron Mountain guarantees its secure transport fleet to make an emergency tape delivery in only one hour - just another reason to store your data backup tape offsite through the TapeGuard service. Additionally, TapeGuard is a viable tape storage and data protection solution that is attainable by anyone, not just big businesses. Whether you have an entire enterprise library or a single tape to safeguard, TapeGuard is able to serve your need to backup tape offsite. Online backup may be the wave of the future of data protection, but tape backup is not yet out to sea. Even though parties may be emerging who view tape backup as old-fashioned, it doesn't have to be inferior. Companies who already have much time and money invested in tape backup can keep up with the times at present simply by storing backup tape offsite in a secure, remote (and climate-controlled) location with a reliable, reputable company.
