5. Six Backup Practices to Give Up for the New Year
December 22, 2011

According to Don Jones, in his The Definitive Guide to Windows Application and Server Backup 2.0, the first step in any healing process is admitting your mistakes, and these may include your current backup practices. Don suggests six things an IT professional should be willing to reject to provide better backups and surer recoveries: Point-in-time backups? “Horrible,” he intones. “You’re always going to lose some data if you have to rely on point-in-time backups, and who wants to lose data?”  He suggests that continuous backups deliver far more flexibility, involve a lower loss risk, and, a...

6. 70TB Tapes In a Disk-Based World
December 22, 2011

Robin Harris – of ZDNet’s Storage Bits blog – had an article almost two years ago about a new 70TB tape demonstrated by IBM and Fujifilm. Robin’s title captured an increasing number of people’s sentiment about this story precisely – “too much, too late.” While I’ll admit that the geek in me loves the idea of any single piece of storage medium that can store 70TB of compressed data, the fact that its magnetic tape constrains its practical application pretty dramatically, save for long-term file and folder archiving. Its retirement is well-e... (read more)

7. Disaster Planning Evolves With the Rise of Disk-based Backups
December 20, 2011

Surveys of small and medium-size companies indicate this: for an increasing number of mission-critical applications, recoveries that stretch into hours can impact business revenues just as badly as recoveries that – just a few years ago – took a day or more.  The need for faster recoveries has risen following server-room restructurings where administrators deploying new virtual machines and they worry about backing them up with the same comprehensive solution they previously applied to backing up physical machines. The potential for a failed disaster recovery is increased whe... (read more)

8. Backup and Recovery: Can One Size Fit All?
December 07, 2011

IT environments are the definition of diversity. Now consider the diversity that exists within the walls of your datacenter. How many types of hardware and how many lines of code exist?  In this environment one sees servers of all different flavors, some physical, some virtual. Applications abound in copious quantity, with a medley of supporting databases. Data protection requirements are diverse. The IT professional is expected to restore entire computers just as efficiently and quickly as folders, database rows and Exchange emails as fast as Excel spreadsheets. In addition, all of the a...

9. The Future of Backup: Three Observations
December 07, 2011

Data reported by many sources shows that the economy is regaining its footing and it is just a matter of time when investments in IT products and services will increase. As organizations aggressively virtualize servers, backup becomes increasingly problematic. The benefits of higher server utilization and increased efficiency have a challenging side-effect, namely reducing the amount of physical resources available for CPU-intensive applications like backup. The result is that backup windows are tightening in many shops, and users are forced to sacrifice recovery point objectives (RPO) or dep... (read more)

10. How the Virtual Machine Evolved
December 01, 2011

The hottest thing in data centers right now is virtualization. The new technology enables you to run several operating systems within a single physical environment, giving you essentially two or more servers in one. Why should you go to virtualization? The standard way for data processing was one application, one server. This way, you made sure your applications ran in a clean environment, and one application didn’t impact another. If a problem developed, it was easy to debug and fix. This works fine except for the fact that with today’s modern computers, you end up using a small... (read more)

11. 7 Reasons Why A Virtual Machine Is a Better Choice
December 01, 2011

You’re probably familiar with the usual benefits of virtual machines—less rack space, smaller data centers and green initiatives. Here are a few other less touted advantages worthy of mention:   1. Safe sandbox. Creating a second operating system on your computer lets you do things you normally wouldn’t be able to do on a regular system. For instance, virtual machines let you test scenarios and new applications before global deployments. If your operating crashes or becomes instable, it won’t impact other virtual servers on the same machine.   2. Rapid provi... (read more)

12. When Your Server Is Sunk: Lessons in Bare Metal Recovery
December 01, 2011

It’s a fact of life—disasters happen. Think about this scenario: Let’s assume the river next to your office rises and floods your building. Not only is your carpet ruined, but your primary server has spent hours below murky flood waters. Your server is a complete loss—a year’s worth of your company’s data has been wiped out. Luckily, you made a full backup of everything on your server, so all you need to do is retrieve the backups and restore them, right? Hopefully, it will be easy to get things back up and running in no time. But then again, it may be mo... (read more)

13. VM Backup: A Lot More Than Meets the Eye
November 24, 2011

Virtual machines are convenient and useful, but they require backing up just as any physical machine would require. A VM backup is more complicated than the physical machine backup because of the virtual nature of the data. Working on the recovery system requires the use of special features and techniques designed for the virtual environment of the information. Wasting Time and Resources If you backup and restore VMs like physical machines there is a waste of time and resources that are better used elsewhere. Virtualization in the data center is notably different. Once virtualization is impl... (read more)

15. Preparing for the Bare Metal Restore Showdown
November 18, 2011

Let’s assume a catastrophe happens. The river rises and your office building floods. Not only do you have to replace all the carpet, but you have completely lost your entire server, the hard drive, the case, everything. You have an entire year worth of work on that computer and trying to recreate everything from scratch will probably cost you half your business, so you need to move fast and restore everything. Lucky for you, you made a full tape backup of everything on your server hard drive, so all you need to do is retrieve the tape from your service bureau. It should be easy to get t... (read more)

November 18, 2011

Companies are drowning in data. Each year, most companies are seeing significant increases in the amount of data they need to store. Before you know it, your backup storage repositories can fill up, forcing you to make the hard decisions: Do you purchase more storage? -          In today’s age of tight budgets, many IT organizations simply cannot afford to purchase additional storage. Do you delete older data that you currently store, freeing up more storage space? -          This is not an opti... (read more)

17. Why You Want to Virtualize Your Network Environment
November 15, 2011

In a networked environment, the old school way is to run each application independently on its own server. This ensures applications reside quietly in their own little space, and problems, when they do occur, are easy to pin point. It is a great game plan except for this: You end up using only about 10-20 percent of CPU power and storage capacity of today’s computers. The result is hardware overkill. Imagine if you will, an ever expanding data center with racks and racks of servers, consuming vast amounts of power and generating a lot of heat. Enter virtualization, a process by which s...

18. What Happens When You Don't Have 7 Hours to Backup Your Data?
November 15, 2011

Here’s the scenario: You are running a mission critical application. Finding the time to do a traditional bare-metal backup equates to seven hours of downtime once a week (or more often) probably at some inhuman hour of the day like 3am Saturday morning. And if something goes wrong, you risk losing up to a week’s worth of data back the point of your last backup. It is a recipe for disaster. Better identify a new backup solution quick, one that will minimize your recovery point objective (RPO), the amount of work you are willing to sacrifice in the event of a disaster, and your rec...

19. How to Boost Your Data Recovery Confidence
November 15, 2011

Backup software vendors are fond of saying “It’s all about the recovery.” It’s true that recovery is a critical part of data protection. While no one is watching over your shoulder while you are doing the backup, you can be sure everyone is watching during the recovery, which is why it is so important that things go well. But in order to be confident that things will go well, you have to know from the beginning that you are recovering viable data. Thus, a critical step in the backup process is verifying the data. Yet, this is one area where legacy backup solutions ofte... (read more)
