How is DSI’s server backup different from using tapes?
This solution will create the initial backup much faster than a tape drive shrinking the overnight backup window. The data can also be replicated to a storage facility so your data will reside in 3 locations as is the recommended best practice.
Is DSI’s server backup secure?
Yes. The data is archived and encrypted. The data is stored in redundant data storage facilities on isolated data partitions.
I would like to keep using tapes and our archiving facility, can we still do this?
Yes. We can integrate the disk based solution with your current tape archive strategy while still speeding the backup process.

Backup & Archive

Dynamic Strategies can help you simplify a mundane but critical operation, backing up your data. Our specialists can help you create a backup strategy for your applications, data and configurations.

Our services include:
  • Tape Backup – Configuration and monitoring of the data backup service which will include the notification of faults and failures.
  • Disk Based Backup – Often the time allotted to a backup is limited and too small for a complete backup to tape. In these cases we use disk based backup systems where the data is quickly moved to a secondary location then backed up onto tape.
  • Tapeless Backup – DSI securely creates multiple copies of your critical data and moves it off site without tapes. All data is copied locally and delivered to an off-site data storage facility via a secured internet connection.
  • Off Site Archiving – DSI provides management and operational support of moving the backup tapes to a secured off-site facility.

The DSI Difference

We provide different levels of service – from monitoring of daily jobs to the completely automated backup and archive processing. In addition to backup we ensure the availability and verification of the restoration process.

Examples

  • A small customer with a mobile staff has difficulty getting their tapes rotated in a timely fashion. DSI engineered a disk-based solution to ensure that data was being backed up regularly and again moved to tape as the customer restraints allowed.

  • A mid-sized business with mission-critical databases has a small time window for backup, but required backup and off-site storage. DSI proposed a tapeless solution which would complete the initial backup within the time constraint then replicate data to an off-site storage facility via a dedicated high bandwidth connection. The customer was provided with a fast, reliable and secure mechanism to create multiple backups on a daily basis.
