Notoriously Short Backup Windows- Jun-06-2008

Companies of all sizes are aggregating so much information nowadays that traditional methods of backup, such as tape and optical media libraries, don’t allow you enough time to save it all.

Solution: Nearline “high performance” storage/interim high-speed disk-based storage.

Bill Long, technical engineer at NetCom USA (www.netcomusa.com), a provider of RAID storage solutions, suggests caching backup data to an interim high-speed disk-based storage device instead of to tape or optical media directly. “Fast nearline storage systems can allow all of the backup data to be copied quickly, at disk array speeds, from the source server. Then, once the copy is made, the backup operation continues by substituting the nearline storage device as the source of the backup data, releasing the main server (and its storage) from the backup operation,” says Long. “Typically, with the proper software, the backup operation is completed in the background between the nearline storage system and a tape or optical archiving device.”
