1) Slow speed—using physical tape often results in long backup windows that tie-up valuable resources

2) Unreliability—you never know a tape is bad until it is and then it’s too late; even a small data loss

can be devastating to your business and data stored on tape is ALWAYS at risk

3) Time—significant labor hours are lost using and managing tape for your backup and recovery

4) Inconvenience—managing tape requires someone to always be onsite where the iSeries is located

5) Costs—costs add up with tape media, tape drives, off-site storage, transport time, labor time, etc.

6) Delayed User Access—with tape, downtime prevents users from accessing your system costing your business money

7) Restore & Recover—whether it involves locating the correct tapes or waiting to receive tapes that are kept off-site,

restoring from tape is difficult; plus the frequency and strength of malware and ransomware attacks are increasing daily

and physical tape will delay your ability to restore your data if you can restore it at all

8) Disaster Recovery—it can take days, weeks, or even months to recover your data with tape; as your data goes,

so goes your business Don’t wait for a disaster to happen. Read on to learn about a faster

and easier alternative for IBM i backups...

8 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD STOP USING TAPE NOW Why continue to rely on a backup method you know

will delay your ability to get your business back up

and running quickly in case of a disaster?
