New disaster recovery pricing system bases charges on how much data is recovered, not backed up
There's a dirty little secret in the disaster recovery
industry, according to Dave Simpson, who tracks the storage market for the 451
Research Group. Usually, customers require less recovery than industry vendors
make them believe, he says. But vendors charge customers based on how much data
they back up, when in reality it's rare for an organization to require a
complete recovery of all its backed up data.
