How does using the ioSafe Series hard drive compare to tape backup or CD/DVD backup?
If you’re using tapes or CDs for backup or disaster recovery, the ioSafe 3.5 Series is a strong candidate for tape/CD replacement. It can be used in conjunction with tape backup too to fill gaps in your disaster recovery and backup strategy. Tapes that are consumed in the fire, broken or wet will offer you little help in getting your server back. Security breeches from transporting tapes can also result from human error or disgruntled employees. Tapes located in far away offsite facilities may take many hours to get back to the disaster location.
