And 9 percent<br \/>\nsay that it takes more than 12 hours to make primary data backups.  And 60 percent say that 30 to 50 percent of the data<br \/>\ncaptured by primary backups is highly unlikely to ever to accessed again.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the frustration centers around the inability to identify smaller subsets of the data for the backup.<br \/>\nStatic or infrequently used data needs should be managed on a different backup schedule than critical and frequently changing information.<\/p>\n<p>The advantages cited for this approach include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More efficient backup procedures could free up time of IT personnel (69 percent)<\/li>\n<li>More efficient backup procedures could put less stress on the use of network and system resources (60 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Less maintained as active for rapid on-line access would reduce the need to do things like data snapshotting, replication, and mirroring (58 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Fewer backups would mean less impact on the application environment (45 percent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How to solve this problem?<br
