Backup Services

DESCRIPTION

Backup Service covers data backup to disk and tape, and processing restore requests.  UCF IT uses de-duplication technology to backup data on a regular basis. Once a month, all backup data is written to tape and sent off-site. The monthly charge will be based on actual backup volume. Incremental backups on the de-duplication appliances expire after 30 days.
