Tape duplication & deduplication
Tape duplication is the process of copying the content of a tape on one or several identical tapes.
Tape duplication scenarios
- Protect your data by having multiple copies of some critical content.
- Easily distribute the content of tapes to multiple departments, customers, etc.
Ontrack data recovery solutions
Kroll Ontrack has developed software and systems that allow for the off-line duplication of your vital backups or for the creation of multiple copies of data for distribution. With most backup applications your only choice is to repeat the backup to create a second copy of your save sets. This can cause problems as system performance will be affected and often the extra copy has to be made during business hours when the most important files are in use. Kroll Ontrack can copy your tapes independently from your live systems and validate them with a restore process. We can also supply a system solution for your duplication requirement.
Tape de-duplication
De-duplication and multiple copies of the same file
Many companies are introducing the ability to de-duplicate and compress new or current data, but what happens to your archive? Is it already growing out of control? Are you planning a move from tape to disk? Kroll Ontrack’s de-duplication service will identify, index and then remove all multiple instance data that is determined to be surplus to requirements.
This enables a reduction in tapes, lower storage costs, faster restore times and of course less data to import into your new SAN.
