Check out this BC Management post on the results of their survey on backup technologies being used:
What are organizations using for backup technologies?
57% of the respondents said they were backing up to tape. Tape recovery can be time consuming and negatively impact the RTOs (Recovery Time Objectives).
During exercises, organizations need to assure they aren't just testing a successful restore from tape, but that critical business functions are up and running in the time identified in the BIA.
If restoring from tape could prevent your organization from meeting RTOs, it may be time for you to partner with IT leadership to show upper management why a technology upgrade is needed. IT leadership may welcome the help in articulating their business case for upgraded technology.
