Should I Switch From Tapes to

Business Data Connect?

Here is a quick evaluation of your choices: 

Tape Backup Business Data Connect
Tapes can fail. They can fail to backup data and they can fail to restore data. Business Data Connect is 100% reliable because your data is not only stored on tapes, it's stored on hard disks protected with the latest disk technologies and maintained by veteran IT professionals.
 
Orchestrating a tape-based backup is time-consuming and prone to human error. With Business Data Connect, we work with you to make sure that the correct data is backed up, then we watch it every day to ensure the data is there. If we find something suspicious, we notify you right away and work with you to resolve the issue.
 
Transportation of tapes to and from the off-site storage area is necessary and time-consuming. Business Data Connect copies your data off-site for you. Plus, you can schedule backups to occur every night after your office is closed. You reduce the chance of human error or the need to keep track of tapes and transport them to off-site locations.
 
The recovery process with tapes can be unreliable and even more time-intensive than transporting the tapes off-site. Plus, restoring down to the single file level can be difficult. With Business Data Connect, you can restore a single file or an entire directory with just a few mouse clicks. How do you know if all your files were actually backed up properly? Business Data Connect will notify you daily of the status of your backups
  
"Aren't Tape Backups Less Expensive?"

Consider these expenses:

Employee time spent doing the backup and transporting tapes off-site.
With Business Data Connect, you eliminate this expense entirely.
Cost of replacing broken/old tape drives.
Business Data Connect absorbs the costs of the storage equipment. We stay on the cutting edge of data management technologies. You won't have to worry about costly hardware (or software).
Bottom Line:
Your business data is too important to trust to human error, tape drives, and tape media. Your employees' time is too valuable to spend on this task.
