Tape Backup Not only for Better TCO but also…

To protect data losses against Software bugs,

viruses, application errors, human errors, terrorist

attacks.

Google GMAIL loss of data in Feb 2011 – Impacted 600,000 users

• Software bugs affected several copies of data on DISK backup

• Data was restored from TAPE. Offline tape were protected from the bugs

When NERSC read nearly 24,000 StorageTek

enterprise cartridges (approximately 15 million

meters of tape...)

of cartridges were read 100% error free after 12+ years
