| Deduplication |
Traditional tape backup and archive solutions store the same information many times, without increasing the protection provided. Deduplicated disk-based backup and archive solutions deliver enhanced protection and can reduce data volumes by as much as 100:1Synthetic Full BackupsAfter the initial backup, only changes are stored during subsequent backups. This has no impact on restore time because data is presented as if a full backup had been performed every time and restored exactly as it was at the time of the backup selected . File-Level DeduplicationRecoveryShield identifies duplicate files, so they are only transmitted and stored once, greatly reducing storage and bandwidth required. Block-Level De-DuplicationThe intelligent agents also identify duplicated blocks within files, so they are transmitted and stored just once, further reducing storage and bandwidth required. Consolidated Backup StorageThe deduplication of backup data enables more economical backup consolidation at multiple locations, for resilience against any single point of failure. "ThinkingSafe, one of the early developers of software deduplication technology, remains at the forefront of this valuable technology, through an ongoing programme of research and development." |
