Protecting Open Databases and Files

Active databases and open files are often your most important data, and it is critical that your data protection solution offers native support for backing up these mission-critical files. Backup solutions that require complex plug-ins or costly third party tools to protect open databases and files are vulnerable to serious compatibility and operational problems between the backup solution, the database and the database plug-ins. Companies evaluating their online backup choices should be aware that most of today’s backup solutions require these third party tools. Download entire brief here.
