5 Managing the Data Repository Regardless of the data repository model or data storage media used for backups, a balance needs to be struck between accessibility, security, and cost. These media management methods are not mutually exclusive and are frequently combined to meet the needs of the situation. Using online disks for staging data before it is sent to a near-line tape library is a common example. Online Online backup storage is typically the most accessible type of data storage, which can begin restore time in milliseconds. A good example would be an internal hard disk or a disk array (may be connected to SAN). This type of storage is very convenient and speedy, but is relatively expensive. Online storage is quite vulnerable to being deleted or overwritten, either by accident, by intentional malevolent action, or in the wake of a data-deleting virus payload. Near-line Near-line storage is typically less accessible and less expensive than online storage, but is still useful for backup data storage. A good example would be a tape library with restore times ranging from seconds to a few minutes. A mechanical device is usually involved in moving media units from storage into a drive where the data can be read or written. Generally, it has safety properties similar to online storage. Offline Offline storage requires some direct human action in order to make access to the storage media physically possible. This action is typically inserting a tape into a tape drive or plugging in a cable that allows a device to be accessed. Because the data is not accessible via any computer except during limited periods in which it is written or read back, it is largely immune to a whole class of online backup failure modes. Access time will vary depending on whether the media is onsite or offsite. Offsite data protection To protect against a disaster or other site-specific problem, many 5

6 people choose to send backup media to an offsite vault. The vault can be as simple as a system administrator s home office or as sophisticated as a disaster-hardened, temperature-controlled, high-security bunker that has facilities for backup media storage. Importantly, a data replica can be offsite but also online (EG, an offsite RAID mirror). Such a replica has fairly limited value as a backup, and should not be confused with an offline backup. Backup site or disaster recovery center (DR center) In the event of a disaster, the data on backup media will not be sufficient to recover.computer systems on which the data can be restored and properly configured networks are necessary, too. Some organizations have their own data recovery centers that are equipped for this scenario. Other organizations contract this out to a third-party recovery center. A more typical way would be remote disk mirroring, which keeps the DR data as up-to-date as possible. Disaster Recovery In Tennessee Disaster recovery in Tennessee is a breeze nowadays. There s a lot of options out there for both micro and macro businesses to choose from. Even technologically savvy individuals can already avail of various disaster recovery systems in Tennesee.For starters, remote data backup services are a popular choice for businesses, regardless of their commercial size. This has been a well established disaster recovery choice in Tennessee. This backup service provides clients with a safe way of storing their important data by use of another host. Because computers are generally still unpredictable, a remote backup system is a good choice. In Tennessee, disaster recovery has become more efficient through remote back up programs than installing some backup software within the computer system of the client.in addition, the remote back up system provides a much better cost-reducing process than other back up systems.aside from this, Tennessee disaster recovery also has their own breed of crisis counselors who are more than willing to be of service to those who need data help. 6

7 Tennessee has its own array of technicians who can provide residents with their specific needs for disaster recovery.disaster recovery in Tennessee usually employs drop-off points effectively scattered within the neighborhood for individuals. Residents now have the ease of having their own computer systems restored and backed up accordingly. Services such as recovering hard drive crashes, accidentally deleted files, failure of RAID server, are among the few services being offered at these drop-off points. Highly skilled technicians are also present within every drop-off point to ensure an efficient way of data disaster recovery within Tennessee. What are the steps for the text mode Windows XP installation? - Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) Insert Windows XP CD and restart computer. Press any key to continue and the setup wizard will launch. A prompt occurs to press F6 to install a SCSI or RAID driver.o Press F5 to allow selection of appropriate Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for computer When the initialization process completes, the type of installation is requested. Press Enter to continue. Setup looks for any existing installation of Windows. The End-user License Agreement (EULA) will appear:o Press F8 to accept the Windows XP Licensing Agreement and continue setup.o Press ESC to not accept the agreement and setup will be discontinued Self-Awareness Inventory Inventory For each statement, rate yourself on a scale of one to five, with 1 being you rarely feel that way, 3 being you sometimes feel that way, and 5 being you always feel that way. Statement My Rating 1) I recognize that there are many ways a person can experience discrimination. 2) I am aware of the main characteristics of my culture. 7

Scoring In his literature search for the article, Competencies for All Differences, Arash Afshar identified three basic areas where people need to develop diversity skills. Knowledge of historical developments, cultural differences, causes of exclusion Attitudes (flexibility, willingness, warmth, empathy) Skills such as communications, negotiation, and conflict management Other authors have modified these competencies: Head (Knowledge) Heart (Attitudes) Hands (Behaviors and skills) Let s see how you scored in each of these areas.
