Of course and this is very important. Nevertheless, DSR, while retaining the procedures of this type of system, brings additional advantages :
– tapes only back up the machine on which they are placed; usually a server. DSR can back up all the computers in your network (servers + clients),
– the writing on the tapes is magnetic, therefore very sensitive to radiation: solar, radio, etc. DSR writes data to hard disk at several geographically different locations.
– Do you really do backups every day? Who does it ? How long does this take ? Do you systematically take the tapes outside the company ? Do you check your backups ? Do you know what is really written on the tapes ? Have you ever carried out restoration tests ? ARE YOU SURE OF YOUR BACK UP SYSTEM ? If so, how do you know ?
– Have you ever performed restorations following data loss ? Did you know that ONE IN TWO RESTORATIONS IS INOPERABLE ? DSR provides all data integrity checks at the time of backup, unlike all other backup systems on the market which only perform this check at the time of the restoration procedure. ALL FILES BACKED UP BY DSR ARE, IN FACT, INTEGRATED AND AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY.
– DSR can be seen as an additional system to the one you already have. He can take care of all the day-to-day operations of safeguarding your company and thus free you from time and worries regarding the efficiency of the procedure in progress. Many of our customers use DSR for regular daily backups, and perform a tape backup every two weeks or every month to manage the company’s history over the year.
