EMC(r) Insignia Solution for Data Protection capitalizes on the performance of disk and the portability of tape to deliver a simple, yet powerful data protection solution designed specifically for small and medium businesses (SMBs). By utilizing the speed and reliability of the EMC CLARiiON(r) AX150 networked storage system and the convenience of EMC Retrospect(r) 7.5 for Windows backup and recovery software, SMBs can implement fast, effective, reliable data protection that is easy to set up and manage without placing undue strain on IT resources.

This paper explains the advantages of the solution and recommends best practices for using Retrospect to stream backups to the AX150 and then copy data from the AX150 to tape for secure offsite storage.
