What is the 3-2-1 Backup Rule and is it Relevant in 2021?

Years after a production has been completed, chances are low that someone will remember a file name or other specifics about the production. This is where metadata open up numerous opportunities. This article by Archiware's Dr. Marc Batschkus reveals how metadata can create a solid foundation for finding files, save countless hours, and increase customer trust.

True Incremental Cloud Backup in P5 Version 7

Full backups are no longer necessary when writing to cloud and disk storage. With P5 version 7, full backups are only required when writing to tape, to allow whole LTO tapes to be recycled and reused. 

When writing to cloud/disk storage using our new container volume storage, we have fine-grained removal of expired files and re-use of storage. The 'progressive' backup technique can be used indefinitely, resulting in faster and more efficient backup to cloud object storage.
