Organizations have made the mistake of using backup tapes for record retention and management purposes, rather than properly utilizing backup tapes for disaster recovery purposes only, opening the company up to a myriad of preservation and compliance issues.

The remediation process for these companies must include the establishment of proper Backup Tape Policies, which provide an organization clear guidance on the proper handling of backup tapes in a manner consistent with disaster recovery. Kahn Consulting has developed such policies and can educate your staff on the proper handling and rotation of backup tapes for disaster recovery purposes.
