A Software Information Lifecycle Management survey<\/a> by UK-based BridgeHead found that Compliance ranked third as a driver for document archival.\u00a0 First on the list was BC\/DR\u00a0Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery.\u00a0 Second was ‘Data Growth’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

70% of respondents cited Disaster Recovery\u00a0as the top reason for their archiving initiative.\u00a0 62% cited ‘Data Growth’, and 58% cited ‘Reculatory Compliance’. The survey was taken in July 2006 of 350 senior executives, IT managers and system and network engineers in North America and UK.<\/p>\n

But on closer examination of the results, many of the respondents may have been equating archival with backup.\u00a0 A follow-up question determined that 72% of respondents in the UK and 77% of US respondents use tape as their archive medium.\u00a0 48% use magnetic disk and 26% use optical.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s blog<\/a> discussed confusion among many in differentiating between the terms Backup<\/em> and Archival<\/em>. The way the\u00a0survey was worded may only continue to propogate the confusion.\u00a0\u00a0 Tape is a medium well suited for backups, but is difficult to use as part of a data archiving system that needs to be able to support search.\u00a0 Trying to find specific data stored on tape can be a very tedious process.\u00a0 Data archival based teamed with a responsive storage media allows a more granular-level data search.<\/p>\n
