» Ultimate Business Protection solution guide (2.4MB, PDF)
A detailed review of data protection considerations.
Consider the following key elements as you develop your disaster recovery plan.

Business measures

• Recovery Time Objective (RTO): How long can your business tolerate downtime?
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO): How much data can you afford to lose?

Your IT environment profile(s)

• Direct Attach Storage (DAS) – typically small, multi-server environments using tape backup devices directly attached to server(s).
• Local Area Network (LAN)– backup devices connected directly to network with central management and regular backup requirements
• Storage Area Network (SAN) – sophisticated networked backup with 100% uptime requirements
•  What are your data backup and data recovery capabilities?
Tape or Disk? Disk or Tape? Both?

Consider budget, functionality, legal requirements including:

• Low-cost initial, investment requirements
• Automation, speed of backup and recovery
• Need for off-site archiving requirements
• 30 years+ 'shelf life' needs
