The advent of data deduplication, combined with disk-based backup systems, continues to change the landscape of backup and recovery environments. Conventional disk systems are well suited for short retention with frequent access, and tape are well suited for long-term retention with infrequent access.

Deduplication is also a key enabling technology for replication, making it practical for IT managers to link distributed sites and simplify media management across the enterprise.
