Automated Offsite Disaster Recovery with Tape Rotation Workflow
A large insurance provider deploys HPE StoreEver LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 External Tape Drives in its daily backup routine and automated tape libraries for offsite rotation. Leveraging slot-based scheduling and WORM capability, the system enforces an air-gap protection layer, guarantees a 24-hour RPO and achieves sub-2-hour RTO during failover. The result is ransomware-proof recovery, predictable operational uptime and streamlined compliance reporting.
