Taditional tape backup requires valuable time, money, and resources. Additional hardware and software have to be purchased and maintained. Most businesses have one person responsible for doing backups and find it difficult to keep a regular backup regimen. Tapes need to be rotated and cataloged daily. They need to be taken offsite for safe storage. In the event of data loss, a single file can take over 30 minutes to restore. This results in downtime and lost productivity. As more and more companies are learning about Remote Backup, tape backup methods are slowly becoming extinct.

Remote backup is fully automatic, and is usually done at night when your computers are not being used.
