View the entire backup video series. There are many options to consider when starting a data backup plan. Primarily, where are you backing up that data (to disk, to tape, locally, off-site) and how often will you do it (daily, weekly, monthly). There are benefits and drawbacks to most options. Backing up locally to tape is secure but time intensive. Backing up locally to disk is less secure but improves speed. Aiello suggests that backing up offsite to disk offers the best of both worlds. \u201cIt allows you to transmit data offsite, so it\u2019s secure,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you also have the added benefit of writing it to disk, so if you need to do a recovery, generally it will be much faster than if you were to have to recall a tape from third-party provider, mount the tape in your tape system and do the restore.\u201d This video series will continue throughout February.
