Preventing Data Loss During Backups Due to Open Files
Overview This White Paper is written for IT Managers, CTOs and Security Administrators concerned about loss data and corrupt files during backups. Data integrity and redundancy have always been vital to the success of a business. But, against the backdrop of the events of 2001 and today's 24x7x365 business environment, IT decision makers are looking at backup strategies and disaster recovery plans with an even keener eye. With global networks, huge storage systems that maintain ever-increasing amounts of data, and a universal time zone of "now," IT administrators can no longer schedule backup after hours, when the system is not in use. Nor can they afford to adopt backup strategies that are not trustworthy. In short, enterprises today require backup and recovery solutions that offer maximum reliability while also supporting full productivity and efficiency. But, in order to achieve both of these goals, companies must look for tools that address an age-old dilemma - preventing data loss during backup due to open files. Disaster recovery plans are only as good as the backup strategies that underlie them. Without an open file backup solution, organizations are at risk of losing significant amounts of data. In the end, companies must identify software that can reliably back up data while files are in use and while internal and external transactions are still in progress.
