What To Consider When Selecting And Making Use Of A Tape Backup System?
One of the most important items to look at when performing tape backup is speed. Particularly, the architecture of the tape system is essential. For instance, each port should lead to its very own adapter irrespective of whether it's SCSI or fiber channel. Quite simply, it is usually better to connect the tape system with two single-port HBA cards instead of a single HBA card with two ports.
Also, it is important to be certain that the system that controls the tape hardware is fast too. That means it's crucial that you make sure the network connections are fast (at a minimum gigabit Ethernet, preferably better) and that the storage access is fast also. It would make sense that the server has direct access to the SAN so as to have speed.
Once you start utilizing resources like Dell’s tape backup system, you can expect a reliable system. That means you need hardware which will perform well in the long run. Don’t ignore issues with tape drives or tape media, and they have to be fixed as soon as possible. In order to get this sort of reliability, it can certainly be important to have a very good support contract and not just rely on warranty support.
It's highly recommended to have a support contract on the tape hardware during business hours in the event that cost is a consideration. If restores are typical and occur during the night, 24x7 coverage will probably be more ideal.
The purpose of tape backup is to make sure data is available if it is accidentally deleted due to user error, malicious hacking, or lost because of hardware failure. Quite simply, it's a type of insurance for data. Although having to do a restore isn't usually desirable, the alternative of lost data is much worse. For this reason it is very important to backup all data.
To make certain there's sufficient space to backup the data, ensure that you pick tape media that is big enough. Something such as Dell’s LTO5 tape technology is one option that gives you a lot of reliable storage space. With products such as this, there is significantly less tape media needed to backup all of the data in the enterprise. Make certain that there are sufficient blank tape media ordered as well with the tape system.
It's very important to test the data that's been restored when doing tape backup. There are lots of places in which tape restore is not requested frequently. Any time that happens, it is vital for administrators of the tape system to test restores regularly. There is a couple of good reasons why this is significant.
To start with, it keeps the skills of how to do a tape restore fresh. A crisis is really a poor time to forget about how to use the system to do a restore in time to be useful. That's why periodic practice can be a positive thing. The second reason is to make sure that tapes are being written properly to the tape media, especially for tape media which has not been used for an extended time period.
