Why Backups alone are not enough

June 3, 2010

Poor policy management

No Standards or procedures

No indexing or search capabilities

Poor segmentation

Data is “consolidated” on media haphazardly according to source time and place rather than according to policy

Data sharing the same media cannot be truly expired

Retrieval requests will bring back unrelated data

Unworkable as everything we need archives for…

Legal discovery process

Long-term retention
Distant-future recoverability
Consistency of data
