Buchanan Data Protection
Data Protection provides users with a method to back up computer data simply and efficiently over the network (disk to disk). This provides a faster and safer backup than traditional tape methods.
Vs. Tape Storage:
- Tapes have been around for more than 25 years and still have a 50% failure rate
- More than 50% of employees back up their data to a mis-configured tape backup system
- More than 34% do not test their backups and those that tested (77%) found their tape backup failed to recover
- Nearly 50% of tape-based backups fail to restore correctly
- Typically supporting servers only
- Tape drives are expensive and difficult to replace; new tapes cost $50 to $180 per unit and should be rotated out of service monthly
- Ongoing offsite tape backup storage cost and tape retrieval fees
- Restoring is not easy nor fast
- Need to involve a technical resource to restore files
- Might need to get tapes from offsite
Features:
- A simple piece of software is loaded on each machine
- Data is easily accessed via a web browser
- After first backup, only the changes within each file are backed up – quicker backups with low bandwidth usage
- Backup to a local server, an Internet server, or both
- Your data is stored in a primary backup server and automatically replicated to another disaster recovery server
- Supports most operating systems, i.e. Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista; 32 and 64 bit supported, Macintosh, Linux & UNIX
- Supports online backups of Exchange and MS SQL
- Provides open-file backups via Volume Shadow Copy
Pricing:
- Initial consulting fees to get backups running based on size of the project
- Monthly charges based on a sliding scale (computers & disk usage)
- Example: 15 Computers, 400 GB of data for $1,180 / mo
- Example: 32 Computers, 900 GB of data for $1,626 / mo
