Options For Colocation
For data backup hare are several ways to achieve this. The
first most common method for colocation customers is to install a
second hard drive in the collocated server and have the OS
automatically copy the first drive to the other each night. (Hard
drive backup restoration is the fastest restoration if it is ever
needed)
The second popular method of online data backup for colocation
customers is to put a second server in your cabinet space and have
it copy contents from
the first server at some interval or mirror. For
redundancy sometimes it is wise to put the second server in another
different colocation facility.
Another popular way to do the online data backup for colocation
customers is to install tape drives in the colocation cabinet space
and have the colocation company change the tapes at a set interval.
The colocation company will usually charge a small monthly fee for
this service. An alternative to this is to put in a tape auto
changer.
