Virtualisation 'a problem for data backup'

10-07-2009

Data backup providers are now facing the problem of how to effectively store data for firms which have embraced virtualisation, it has been claimed.

Enterprise Storage Forums has reported that due to the fact that virtual environments require access to data at all times, successfully storing and safeguarding data has become much more difficult.

The website stated that as backups can quickly become out of date, companies should now be looking to invest in continuous data backup solutions to help protect information every time an amendment to a file takes place.

In related news, Search Server Virtualisation recently reported that comprehensive continuous data backup and recovery solutions can be set up for firms looking to spend a bit more on data security.

The website noted that this type of data backup system cross-references stored files with amended data in order to create a continuously up-to-date backup.
