While disk continues to increase in capacity and decrease in price, backup to disk with dedup is still a challenge. A small amount of disk can now store the same amount of backup data that tapes with 2:1 compression can store-making the total cost of disk lower than tape in addition to all of the other benefits. With new technologies such as data deduplication, or dedup, the amount of data stored on disk can be drastically reduced 9:1 on average. Tape continues to be part of the strategy for offsite protection and long-term archiving, and for many small businesses, the only strategy because of its lower entry cost. Small companies can invest in backup but they do not have the budget to invest in the same technologies and approaches to backup used by larger organizations. Known as "disk to disk," "D2D," and "B2D," disk backup eliminates tape media loading and positioning resulting in faster backup and recovery. The most popular backup architecture for several years has been backup to disk versus directly to tape. This is especially true for smaller organizations who want faster backups, smaller backup windows, and faster recovery. And the incredible ease-of-use is a big plus!
