While the high speed of disk-to-disk backup is known to provide quick restores, local disk backups alone cannot defend against damage, loss or theft that strikes your main business location. Backing up to disk can also be problematic if your company is restricted to single site backup with no off-site capabilities. And although tape scores high for capacity and the ease of transporting cartridges off-site for disaster preparedness, it is by its nature serial, preventing its widespread use to achieve critical recovery time objectives. However, backup and recovery appliances that combine disk and tape offer the best of both worlds and meet all requirements for performance, convenience, compliance, long-term archiving, and portability of data for off-site disaster protection. "In the years that Breece Hill has been supplying storage and backup products, we've seen tape and disk each have their moments in the sun as the 'hot technology,' but at no point have any of these approaches delivered the business value of a single all-in-one disk-to-disk-to-tape appliance," said Robert Schaefer Breece Hill CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
