While cloud storage and SAN snapshots have their advantages in random and partial recovery, tape data protection is faster, more efficient and far more cost-effective, especially for long-term cold data storage.

Our backup experts believe that data protection should not have a size limit, that the cost per gigabyte should be low and that data should be stored in the most secure way. For this reason, NovaStor continues to support backup to tape.

Why companies still use tape backup:

  • Tape drives offer a high storage capacity
  • Tape is very cost-effective and scalable
  • Tape libraries offer more flexibility in drive to media ratio
  • New tape drives can store more data on older media
  • Tape libraries have fewer environmental constraints
  • Tape is a cost-effective option for storing large amounts of data
  • Tape drives are very durable (when stored properly)
  • Tape drives offer sustainable long-term storage and archiving

Our backup experts will advise you on the right data backup solution for your IT infrastructure and your business requirements.

Tape backup is still relevant and should be supported

Backup on tape provides hidden advantages by offering an affordable, offline backup of data that is truly inaccessible to hacking and corruption. Keeping data impervious to modern threats like ransomware,  is only 100% guaranteed when exposed systems are disconnected. Tape backup drives offers a viable, offline source for data protection that is secure and suitable for long-term storage.

Even in the times of private cloud services, SAN snapshots, SSD’s, and cheap public cloud storage, backup on tape is widely relevant. Legacy data is still saved to Windows backup tape within Fortune 100 companies and government agencies worldwide.

While many of NovaStor’s competitors no longer support backup on tape or never have, NovaStor has supported tape backup since its inception and continues to support this under-served market. Rather than make users choose between storage technologies, NovaStor supports a wide range of devices to help businesses build a tiered backup strategy, tailored to their unique needs, including
