Data Backup Storage

Now that you have decided to implement a backup solution, it is time to think about offsite data backup storage. Some backup solutions require manual transport of the data backups to an offsite location while other solutions, such as remote backup software, include this critical feature natively.

Data backup storage is a key consideration when evaluating remote backup software products, as the destination storage server will be the host for all data backed up using the system. The right data backup storage array is, therefore, half of the consideration - in terms of hardware. The better remote backup software solutions are compatible with almost any storage back-end, from simple tower servers to high-end NAS and SAN devices capable of storing terabytes of data backups.

Disk drive sizes and overall backup capacity will dictate not only how much data can be backed up to the device(s), but also for what time period the hardware will be appropriate for the job. Again, the better remote backup software packages do not ‘lock you in’ to whatever data backup storage unit you initially choose, but allow you to migrate the data and backup software to another more suitable machine when and if the need arises.

Depending on your needs, or those of your clients, the right backend hardware will become evident after a bit of research into the type and amounts of data you’ll be storing and some calculations which consider storage space and retention requirements.

The staff at Remote Backup Systems has been consulting on data backup storage requirements for over 18 years, and we’ll be glad to assist you, too. Check out our basic hardware guidelines for a remote backup server, and give us a call to discuss.
