In my predictions for 2010, I mentioned that de-duplication was going to be one of the big trends for the year. "There will be a significant focus on data de-duplication -- a way for organizations to overcome some of the cost related to the age of abundance of data. The amount of information created by mankind doubles every 18 months. For organizations who are deploying sensors and gathering unstructured data in a big way, it can be twice that fast. Much of business data is redundant, like e-mail attachments and backup sets. Organizations will be inundated with hardware and software solutions to address data storage"
Lately I've been seeing numerous stories about how data de-duplication is driven by storage growth and how tape is being replaced by disk with data de-duplication. Actually I think that tape will still have its place. One size doesn't fit all organizations. There are a number of ways to get started on the process. One of the first things that should always be done though is know what your data actually is and what really needs to be backed up. It's not really that hard, but it needs to be approached in an organized fashion.
