Backup refers to the copying of data so that these additional copies may be restored after a data loss event. Backups differ from archives and backup systems differ from fault-tolerant systems. Backups are useful primarily for two purposes: to restore a computer to an operational state following a disaster (called disaster recovery) and to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted. |

For as long as Microsoft Exchange Server has existed, so too, has the market seen its share of products for backup and recovery. Over the years there have been a number of products that have been unable to come through when needed most - during an Exchange outage. Making proper backups is part of the process, ensuring that when you have an outage, it will be the shortest possible. But, with the large variety of products available for all types of businesses, it is no surprise that there are several misconceptions about backup and recovery software.

Enterprises with mission critical applications are exploring the benefits of disaster recovery sites for their data centers to ensure business continuity. Special network technology is needed to ensure that site failover and failback occurs reliably and predictably. An ideal solution should provide reliable network connections, manage inbound and outbound traffic over multiple WAN links, failover to a secondary data center if all links at the primary data center are down, and eliminate deployment barriers and costs of multi-homing with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).

While disk-to-disk (D2D) backup systems have been widely accepted as functionally superior to tape, they still carry a significant cost penalty. However, with the addition of data deduplication technology, D2D systems now provide compelling operational and cost efficiencies, thanks to increased manageability and reduced storage and bandwidth needs.

This recent research paper by TheInfoPro goes in depth as to why deduplication has sustained its #1 position on the TIP Storage Backup and Recovery Technology Heat Index®. 15% of storage organizations have already deployed deduplication technology and 59% of storage organizations are planning to deploy “dedupe” by the end of 2008. Managing storage growth, capacity reporting and planning, and backup management are the top pain points for most storage organizations.

When using Data Domain storage with well-understood best practices for backup and taking snapshots in VMware, a deployment can simplify management of consistent images. Once stored, the images are ready to restore, locally or, with optimized deduplicated replication, at a remote DR site. This paper describes best practices for managing these synergistic technologies together.

With continued expansion of organizational storage allocation requirements, the time required for file-based data backup also continues to increase yet the time allotted for this data backup remains constant, exposing a critical issue. Though backup software vendors continue making advancements in technology to speed up the process, disk fragmentation will continue to remain an unresolved issue that must be addressed on the file system level to solve this bottleneck.

ESG Analyst, Lauren Whitehouse, discusses Double-Take Software’s concept of “recoverability” – which involves layers of protection that not only mitigate the risk of data loss, but also maintain the health and uptime of systems and applications. By preparing for, preventing and minimizing the impact of a catastrophic event, IT organizations gain in productivity, customer satisfaction, recovery cost savings and more.
