Data Backup Basics XVI - Backup Environment Architecture Considerations I: Component Placement, System Options and Hardware Fault Tolerance
As promised in Part XV, today we will be looking at common environment architecture topics. These are very important parts of planning and operating a secure backup environment.Of course, the backup environment cannot be viewed in isolation from the rest of the IT landscape. Everything interacts and influences each other. There are specific requirements for backup, but most of the considerations in this text also apply to the production environment. However, I will still refer to the backup environment in this text.But – as always – it is not an aspect that alone leads to a secure environment.
