Tired of tape backups? You're not alone.
In addition to the facts below, a recent study indicated that companies who experience a "major loss" of computer records, 43% never reopened their doors, 51% closed within 2 years of the loss and a mere 6% survived over the long term.
- Tape backup has been around for more than 25 years and still has a 50% failure rate
- More than 50% of employees backup their data to a misconfigured tape backup system
- More than 34% do not test their backups and of those that tested (77%) found their tape backup failed to recover
- Nearly 50% of tape-based backups (or backup systems) fail to restore correctly. A Price Waterhouse Coopers survey calculated that a single incident of data loss costs businesses an average of $10,000 to try and restore the data
- Tapes wear out, similar to VHS, but you can't tell by visual examination whether they are still good or not
- Tape drives are expensive and difficult to replace; new tapes cost $50 to $180 per unit and should be rotated out of service monthly
- A tape backup needs to be run daily and test data restoration run weekly, however most companies do not have the time or resources to properly maintain a tape backup solution to the extent that is required to guarantee effectiveness
- People often forget to rotate tapes
