- It's very easy for us. For most companies today, I think it should be a pretty simple, effective way of getting some sleep at night and not worrying about backups.

adidas-Salomon Canada Ltd. - It is clear that this is a shift in technology that provides IPC with long-term benefits and less headaches. No more back-up window issues, no more failed tapes/tape drives. Our Disaster Recovery planning has become that much easier.

The Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) paradigm is currently the most commonly-used method for backing up data and retaining long-term archives. Although the GFS paradigm has stood the test of time for several decades, it’s quickly losing ground to a revolutionary new contender.
The Progressive Paradigm (often called Incremental Forever) is a fully-automated, software-driven approach that allows backup administrators to:
- Save money
- Eliminate human or mechanical error
- Save on backup storage costs
- Improve the recovery process
- Adhere to stricter Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
In order to show this more clearly, we’ve put together a fascinating and informative new video detailing the inner workings of both backup paradigms: Grandfather-Father-Son and Progressive Paradigm
Have a look and see for yourself. Now you can save money, restore with ease, and automate every aspect of your backup process.
This will forever change the way you think about data backup!
