An Essential Piece of Backing up Your Data

Drobo is the ideal storage solution for storing your files. Are you still using external hard drives that will eventually fail? Drobo protects your most valuable assets by storing your data redundantly across hard drives within the Drobo, so when a drive fails, your data is safe. Drobo is the easiest to use storage solution on the market, and as an essential piece of the backup process, provides protection of data and easy expandability in one unit. Remember, you should always follow the 3-2-1 Backup Rule, have 3 copies of your data, 2 on different storage media and one offsite. As a backup solution, Drobo will protect your data if you lose your original data on your primary storage media. Drobo is flexible, use Drobo as your primary storage solution along with a second Drobo as your backup solution. When more storage space is needed, simply add another drive, or replace a drive with a larger one. With Drobo, storage expertise is not required to ensure your data is always safe and protected.

To complete the 3-2-1 Backup Rule, protect your data with Retrospect software for an offsite third copy. Retrospect’s management software works out-of-the-box with Drobo direct-attached, network-attached, and iSCSI solutions. Simply connect your Drobo as a source, and use Retrospect for scheduling, managing backup strategies, and filtering data. Together, Retrospect and Drobo allows you to utilize a complete data protection workflow for your home or business. Learn More
