Backup of mission-critical files has always been essential to business computing. However, with reliance on information technology increasing exponentially in recent years, many businesses cannot operate without continuous availability of data, which is not possible through traditional backup technology. In this white paper, you will learn how file synchronization can overcome this challenge by enabling multiple exact copies of data files to be kept in different locations while keeping up-to-date files available to users under most any circumstance. In addition, file synchronization can help speed disaster recovery by allowing data to be quickly retrieved for use at an alternate location.
