RISKS OF OTHER SOLUTIONS - ANOTHER OFFICE

Creating your own offsite solution utilizing another office or building is a dangerous practice and in most cases not cost effective. Below is a list of considerations to think about when evaluating an in-house plan for your backup tapes.

Using another office to store backup tapes is problematic for a number of reasons:

  • Temperature and Humidity are not maintained at a constant level.
  • The backup tapes are not transported under the correct security and conditions.
  • The process relies on employee's remembering to take the backup tapes to the other office.
  • There is no accountability proving that the backup tapes have been sent offsite.
  • Who has access to these backup tapes in the other office ? If one backup tape goes missing, you will probably not notice until it's too late.
  • The site may not be an adequate distance from the primary office.
