discussions about the challenges of traditional tape backups. After looking at
some of the top entries, some of the problems described include:
. Tape failures during backup
. Failed notifications of incomplete backups
. Inability to locate an appropriate and current backup tape |
. Cost of tape media

. Inadequate restore speeds from tape |
In light of these issues, the questions we asked above become extremely relevant

Statistics say you disappear from the landscape!
In a recent IDC report, more than 300 million business PCs have a combined
109,000 terabytes of data that is not backed up regularly and, "as much as 60%
of corporate data resides unprotected on PC desktops and laptops."
