No other backup technology is as inexpensive, reliable and portable as tape. And tape is not going away any time soon. Many vendors have been improving their tape-backup systems, adding features and increasing ease of use. We asked eight companies to participate in a test of tape-backup systems: Atempo, BakBone Software, CommVault Systems, Computer Associates International, Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Tivoli, Legato Software and Veritas Software Corp. Only Atempo declined our invitation, citing a lack of time and resources to send its Time Navigator. All the products we tested are aimed at enterprises with extensive data-backup needs. CA, HP, Legato, Tivoli and Veritas have long histories in this field-comforting when you're dealing with your data's safety.
