5. Better Back Up Strategies If your school district depends on tape back ups, then it’s time to think about updating with newer technology. Here are five strategies to improve your data protection and back up with less tape.

6. Strategy #1 Replicate Replication provides a live mirror image of whatever is being backed up. When a server, storage but, or SAN fails, It’s mirror copy kicks in and takes over. Synchronous replication provides immediate restoration of data and applications and near-zero data loss for physical errors.

7. Strategy #2 Protect Data Continuously Pure Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backs up all protected data whenever a change is made, capturing and time stamping every transaction.

8. Strategy #3 Migrate Gently to Disk Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (D2D2T) is a transitional step away from tape. D2D2T provides short term, fast disk-based restores data of files and a reduced backup window while allowing you to continue using your tape equipment for disaster recovery and archiving.

9. Strategy #4 Consider Getting MAID A MAID is a massive array of idle disks. This is the newest, least available, yet most talked about back up medium today.

10. Strategy #5 Encrypt Data Before or During Back Up Only 7 percent of companies encrypt some backup data and 60 percent never encrypt their backup data.
