Disk-Assisted Backup White Paper
Overview Advancements in technology and price reductions have recently made it possible to use disk together with tape to improve data protection. With shrinking backup windows and increasing amounts of data, users are adding more tape drives and implementing faster backup network topologies, including Storage Area Networks (SANs). But for cost reasons, and in distributed environments, users cannot have every host on the SAN. Nor can they implement a direct-attached tape device to every host. The administration and ongoing management would be difficult and inefficient. In this type of environment, backup to disk can help. In any case, it is well worth the time and effort to investigate how using disk in addition to tape could potentially give a better backup and restore solution.
