Overview: Small businesses can suffer catastrophic equipment failures and natural disasters just as global organizations do. Unfortunately, many small businesses fail to adequately protect their critical data or have aging storage devices that should be replaced with newer, more efficient technology. This chart compares common devices within three backup technology categories: optical, hard drive, and tape. The chart outlines each product's important specification, advantages, disadvantages, and primary usage.

Join this ongoing discussion to share your experiences installing, configuring, and supporting small business backup solutions. Which technology have you found to be the most reliable and user-friendly? Also, let us know if our Backup technology comparison chart provides helpful information and if there's anything we can do to improve the document's format or content.
