As storage capacity needs grow in SMBs, disk is increasingly being used as a backup storage target. In this FAQ, backup expert W. Curtis Preston, discusses the role of disk-based backup in the SMB space. Curtis takes a closer look at the benefits and cost differentiators of moving from tape to disk for data backup. 

This document describes the basic concepts and integration guidelines for FalconStor® File-interface Deduplication System (FDS) in a Veritas NetBackup™ environment. It is intended to provide best practices for configuring all components. 

This whitepaper describes how mainframe users can effectively switch from physical tape (or hybrid disk/tape) to a modern mainframe Virtual Tape solution with Data Domain deduplication storage. 

Ingram Entertainment Inc. is the leading national distributor of home entertainment products in the US. Having implemented the Data Domain and Luminex solution they have been able to successfully meet DR goals and achieve significant yearly cost savings. 

Double-Take® Software workload optimisation software products help reduce the cost of managing, provisioning and maintaining server and workstation workloads while simultaneously increasing the efficiency, availability and flexibility of your existing infrastructure. 

Unreliable backups and recovery times that are too long have long plagued IT organisations. This paper takes a look at the costs and benefits of backup with deduplication storage as strategic assets for data protection. 

This document is a 7-step guide for making the move from tape to disk backup with deduplication. Within these steps, the Guide provides a concise summary of the downsides of tape backup, and then examines the superiority and economy of second-generation disk backup with data deduplication. 

Read this whitepaper to learn about how Double-Take Backup reduces the window for data loss, is more efficient than tape, and less costly than tape or other replications solutions. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features. This webcast explores how to leverage the advantages of disk for best possible backup performance and maximum ROI.

Disaster recovery and remote office replication are top-of-mind issues for IT professionals, with frequent natural disasters underscoring the fallibility of tape-based backup strategies. This paper highlights the advantages of deduplication technology in disk-to-disk backup and wide area network (WAN) replication. 

Facing exponential data growth and lengthening backup times, Victaulic Company's tape backup systems could no longer provide the performance or capacity they needed for efficient data protection. For a cost comparable to tape, Victaulic Company implemented a SEPATON S2100-ES2 virtual tape library (VTL) with DeltaStor data deduplication software.
