The Forrester survey revealed the following top challenges enterprises face when it comes to backup and recovery
Storage management issues. Of those surveyed, 41% listed storage management as the top backup and recovery challenge. More backups mean more storage management challenges, requiring deeper understanding of database backup requirements including their sizes, SLAs, and frequency across tens or hundreds of
enterprise databases.
Securing backups for compliance and data security. For database backups, 40% of organizations cited securing backups as one of the top three challenges. Many enterprises do not encrypt their database backups largely because its complex, can potentially require additional software licenses, and fear of data corruption.
Automating backup and recovery. With the increasing number of databases, it has become critical to automate the backup and recovery process. Without automation,
DBAs would have to manually check the status of backups, ensure their reliability, and perform routine storage management functions.
Managing too many databases to backup. More databases mean more backups. With organizations supporting hundreds and thousands of databases, the
sheer number of databases presents a challenge. This was confirmed by the fact that 29% of respondents surveyed reported too many database to backup as one
of the top issues.
