Reducing the Costs and Risks of Branch Office Data Protection | 2009-09-01 | Double-Take Software |
| Continuous access to key business information is a critical requirement for both corporate headquarters and branch offices. But many companies have not adjusted to this reality, and continue to rely on tape backup to protect their branch offices.

In short, tape backup for branch offices is a costly and risky data protection strategy. New solutions that use real-time data replication software to automatically backup branch office data to a central server provide a simpler, more reliable and cost-effective way to protect branch offices.
