The standard method of backing up data is through the use of a tape drive. Tape drive technologies have evolved to now include tapes capable of storing over one terabyte (TB) of compressed data.

At the beginning of every month, the network administrator creates a grandfather copy of the server, which is stored off-site. The father tapes are created weekly and are also stored off-site. Incremental or differential backups are created daily, thus completing the backup rotation. For a standard five day work week, this amounts to 21 tapes required weekly to backup the server completely.
Besides the generally accepted method of a tape backup drive and cassettes, many companies offer off-site server backup.
