Let’s look at tapes and what can go wrong.

1. You can password protect your backups with most third party backup applications. Most SYS Admins however choose not to because they see no reason to do so or they are worried they might forget the password.

2. So backup tapes will never fall into the wrong hands? What are the wrong hands? External criminals or internal nuisances trying to look at the wages spreadsheet?

3. Is the right person tasked with taking the backup tapes off-site? Is the odd tape left at home or in his car? Would you be as easy going if your company’s data was floating around on unencrypted DVDs or USB sticks?

4. Do tapes always work? Are the backup logs checked every day? Do you perform test restores? What happens during holidays and weekends?

5. How many versions can you keep of your data? Online backups from WorldBackups.net will store your revisions for as long as you want.
