The backup industry is less green now than it was even two years ago. The proliferation of disk-to-disk backup is directly responsible. Even with all the data deduplication technologies available, the growth in the number of disk drives because of backup applications has been tremendous. And what did we really gain: faster access to data IF that data is required. But if we aren’t accessing that data, why are we keeping an ever increasing amount of it on an energy inefficient resource?
