Five Benefits to Migrating Legacy Backups to the Cloud

Although vintage trends have become more popular in recent years, your outdated backups are not. They aren’t getting any easier to manage, in fact, most people consider them to be a burden in their IT environment. It would be nice if we could bring all our vintage backups to a thrift store and exchange them for something newer, and simpler to use, but that is not the case.

The complexity and lack of integration from these older backups restrict scalability, create silos that decrease data visibility, reduce IT productivity, and increase overall risk. You need to keep these outdated backups for retention and compliance requirements, but what comes with that is a whole slew of restrictions that hold you back from innovating.

As you are looking to modernize your data protection, make sure you not only, keep up with the trends but stay ahead – you need to migrate your backups with powerful simplicity to the cloud. Instead of holding onto expensive legacy backups, move them and other data sets to inexpensive cloud storage with Commvault. By migrating old backups to the cloud, you can eliminate data silos, improve their availability, and reduce the overall risk in your organization.
