Why backup?
Goals
Backups are done for restores
Operational
Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery requires offsite backup

Operational recovery requires onsite backup
Need both onsite and offsite copies on disk
Need quick restores
Dont have time for moving physical assets

Protection of personal data & intellectual property

Why So Much Interest in

Data Deduplication?
Backup & Archive processes have been
overwhelmed by information growth
Primary storage efficiency has become a
necessity to cope with massive growth
ROI drives the compelling appeal of Dedupe

Reduced Storage Capacities

Lower Infrastructure Costs
Improved SLAs
Efficient Replication for Business Continuance/DR

created by backups
Transportable for offsite DR
