http://www.magnext.com Does cloud storage hold the best solution for small business backups? Are tape backups outdated? In the next couple minutes we will compare tape and cloud backup services for small businesses. Cloud backup relies on your business's Internet connection to constantly upload data. The massive amount of data sent to a cloud backup service will consume a lot of bandwidth, slowing daily operations for your company. Tape backups do not consume bandwidth and will not hinder your Internet connectivity. Tape drives are able to copy data at a rate of at least 45 GB per hour. That means a 1 TB hard drive can be backed up in less than one day. However, cloud backup, while able to operate at a faster speed, is limited by network upload speeds. A 1 TB backup for cloud storage can take several days to complete. Finally, data security and control is of critical importance. All cloud storage is done off site and stored outside of a business's ultimate control. Tape backup is locally stored and fully controlled by the data owner. There is no risk of data loss due to an outside provider's mistake. At Magnext we understand the importance of reliable backup systems. That's why we make data backup attainable on any budget.
