- Data must be backed-up regularly. It should be an automated process otherwise it will be a wasted system. There is very little point in having a disaster recovery plan in place when the archived data is so old that it has little or no practical value.

About Storage
Storage technology impacts most people’s lives often without them realising it. Many devices require some form media to record data including digital cameras, MP3 players through to the large corporate network.
As a result, there are many different types of storage available, the purpose of which is to allow people to store and potentially share large volumes of information. Companies are also becoming increasingly affected by a wide range of legislation that means that they have to store key records in many cases for a period of years. As a result the need for storage products has increased and is likely to continue to do for the foreseeable future.
