Techniques and technologies to
complement data backup
Continues Data Protection technology backs up data every
time it changes.
Storage snapshots periodically capture and record data
changes over time.
Mirroring replicates data across two or more disks.
Data replication copies data from one location to another.
Data reduction shrinks an organization's storage footprint.
3-2-1 backup strategy
3-2-1 backup an organization makes three copies of the
data it wants to protect.
The 3-2-1 method aims to ensure organizations have no
single point of failure for data backups.
