3 Optimizing Backup for SMBs Defining the Right Strategy Start with reliable primary storage Deploy a backup software solution for SMBs Repeatability and Recoverability are key Coverage for all servers is vital (physical & virtual) Affordability and ease of use are a must Enterprise features are an added benefit Utilize Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape architecture Faster backup and recovery w/ disk vs. tape by eliminating tape media loading / positioning 3

4 Basic Architecture What You Will Need Severs & Network likely already in place Reliable storage that is lower cost than primary for backup & offsite Backup Software that supports the unique requirements of SMB Deduplication for efficient use of storage 4

5 Leveraging VM Backup Solution Top concerns Cost of protecting an expanding data set Protection both onsite and offsite Recovery for physical and virtual machines Addressing Those Concerns w/ all-inclusive backup Built-in Deduplication for efficient storage Deduplication enables efficient offsite backup as well Bare metal and P2V recovery on dissimilar hardware 5
