Why TouchPoint is better than using Tape

Tape	TouchPoint
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.
