We recently surveyed more than 200 IT professionals about their backup strategies to get an understanding of what works today, as well as plans for tomorrow. As you strive to lower costs, reduce maintenance and minimize the manpower necessary to maintain your own backups this webinar will show you how you stack up as it relates to: - Time spent managing backups - Amount and frequency of backups - Failures and recovery time - Plans for the future
