Why TouchPoint is better than using Tape

| Remote sites, especially small sites are always a problem - Last one out changes the tape. There is always a risk the backup has not actually performed. |
TouchPoint is fully automated. ALL possibility for human error in tape backup failure is removed, allowing for peace of mind that any data at remote sites is safely backed up. |
| A tape solution typically requires the backup of all the data, including duplicated files and old data every day, creating major problems in doing the backups within the required backup window. |
TouchPoint only takes the daily changes, compresses the data and eliminates common files. This dramatically reduces the time required to ensure that data is backed up within the required timescale. |
| The most sophisticated of tape schedules can still be disrupted due to tape drive failure tape capacity or sickness, holidays and manual error. |
After the initial set-up, TouchPoints’ schedule is automatic and will run unattended, reducing staff involvement and human error. |
| Tape backup routines are often disrupted through sickness and holidays |
Fully automated - needs no daily maintenance to ensure backups run. |
| It is problematic to backup Laptop users, especially if they regularly disconnect from the corporate network. |
More frequent schedules can ensure that Laptops are backed up when the user connects to the network. |
| Backup failures undetected until next morning. |
24x7x365 service monitors and escalates any issues as they occur. |
