Why Do Companies Backup So Infrequently?
Orome1 writes "Businesses are on average backing up to tape once a month, with one alarming statistic showing 10 percent were only backing up to tape once per year, according to a survey by Vanson Bourne. Although cloud backup solutions are becoming more common, still the majority of companies will do their backups in-house. Sometimes they will have dedicated IT staff to run them, but usually it's done in-house because they have always done it like that, and they have confidence in their own security and safekeeping of data."
;) Sorry, no, it is not. Tape has lon term guarantees that hd has not. Drives are expensive, tapes themselvesa re cheap and resilient.
