Acquiring Backup Media and Technologies

Once you have some idea of your backup needs, you can then proceed to acquire the necessary hardware and software to create and manage your backups.

If you need to purchase new backup hardware for a system, you can choose from a number of proven, good systems, depending on your actual needs. When choosing a backup technology, consider the following factors:

Reliability of the hardware and the media

Cost of the hardware and the media

Storage capacity

Likely frequency of restorations

The importance of fitting the entire backup onto a single piece of media

Table 10-1 reviews different types of backup technologies, their approximate costs, and the relative pros and cons of each. Note that the prices of drives, media, and costs per megabyte in Table 10-1 are approximations.
