Problems with the current solution

The current backup solution is not able to keep pace with the growth rate of XYZ.

The actual backup process is very labor intensive. The current backup process makes

it impossible to consolidate backup management or create an enterprise-wide backup

architecture. Each of the backup servers is managed individually. There is no

capability for a central backup management. The problems of the current backup

solution include the following:

• The backup solution is not automated.

• People must copy their work regularly, which creates a high potential for

errors.

• The backup utilities that are used are not the same, resulting in higher training

costs.

• The solutions used in the Other Languages and the Admin Departments are less

primitive but do have their problems. Network usage has a high impact on backup

performance. Moreover, not all data gets backed up. Only Network File System

shared files and network shared files are backed up in the Other Languages and

Admin Departments, respectively.

• Because there are three independent backup servers for the three departments,

there is no central control or administration of the following key areas:

• Device configuration

• Media management

• Backup configuration

• Scheduling

• Monitoring

• Restore operations

• Because each of the backup servers is managed individually, there is no central

reporting.

• The current solution does not offer disaster recovery capabilities. This is an

increasingly important setback. A disaster may result in the company losing a

significant part of its business.
