OCTANE FOR BACKUP DATA
Direct Access and
Management of Backup Data without Restoration
Legacy data has been archived on backup tapes and stored offsite for many years. As these tapes age, the content becomes difficult and expensive to access. As a result, most of the content on legacy backup tapes has been ignored, however new litigation, compliance and regulatory requirements are causing a shift in this thinking.
When legacy tapes were considered inaccessible the data was not a liability. Now that automated discovery and extraction solution like Index Engines exist, causing a major shift in tape accessibility, the liability becomes something that must be managed. Courts are requesting data from tapes to support litigation. Valuable intellectual property that has been hidden on tape, can now be leveraged. Information governance strategies are now incorporating legacy tape content to secure what should be saved and purge what is no longer required, managing future liability.
Index Engines unlocks the data contained on backup tapes, making individual files and email easily accessible by eliminating painful restore. Tape restoration has been a time consuming and expensive process. Using Index Engines, the process is simplified and it is now easy and cost effective.
Index Engines automates the process of
searching and extracting data from
offline tapes, without the need for the
original backup software environment.
It directly indexes
offline tapes, without restoring or copying the data,
making it immediately searchable. Users can quickly find what they need,
restoring only relevant files and email,
rather than restoring the entire tape
contents for processing. The time and
cost for access to data on legacy tape
has been greatly reduced.
