It may be written for a specific business process or may address all mission-critical business processes. Business continuity and disaster recovery are critical components used to ensure that systems essential to the operation of the organization are available when needed.

Centralized Backups
Today's reliance on corporate computer systems and the information they contain continues to grow on a daily basis. Corporate systems today also have grown from single Mainframes with terminals to tens, even hundreds of heterogeneous systems spread across the globe.

Environments like these have brought an end to the days of tape drives attached to every server and standalone backups. Management has a comprehensive understanding of cost related to systems downtime, overwhelming administration of single system backups and the media involved. With these facts in mind, corporations have migrated to the centralized backup scheme, investing sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars into backup software, tape libraries and training for the staff to implement and manage just such an environment.
