Causes Of Data Loss

Conventional backup methods (eg: tape) are not good enough
It is because of:
| |
High failure rates during data restoration |
| |
Problematic backup will not be detected until restoration is performed |
| |
Slow read / write speed |
| |
High maintenace cost |
| |
Data is not encrypted |
| |
Fixed capacity per backup media makes backup job less flexible |
| |
Prone to negligence induced problems, e.g. lost or being misplaced |
