This guide outlines the strategies for data protection and retention utilizing object-based tape technology. It emphasizes the importance of having a well-defined data retention policy, which specifies what data to preserve, the duration of preservation, and storage locations. The document explains that while online disk solutions are typically used for business continuity restores, long-term backup retention is crucial for maintaining data protection standards and compliance. Object-based tape storage is presented as a cost-effective solution for long-term data archiving, facilitating the relocation of backup data from primary storage to free up space and enhance data retrieval processes. The integration of Cohesity's data management platform with Spectra Logic's object-based tape solutions is highlighted, showcasing the benefits of seamless interoperability and efficient data management across storage infrastructures. Additionally, the guide discusses the scalability, security features, and cost-effectiveness of using tape for archiving, ensuring organizations can meet their evolving data management needs efficiently.
