Companies can choose from a variety of strategies such as disk-to-disk (D2D), continuous data protection (CDP), and virtual tape libraries (VTLs). But what’s more popular for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to implement in their environment – VTLs or other types of disk backup? What are the pros and cons of each?
