FAQs
Frequently asked questions about TIMG Backup Tape Services
We understand disasters can happen any time, so our team is on call 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. We also work with clients to run simulated emergency situations where every action undertaken in the disaster recovery plan is tested and timed. This includes backup tape retrieval from our secure data vaults.
We have secure data vault storage options at all of our facilities. We do provide exclusive “client only” secure storage areas for high-value and confidential items. All of our vaults are reinforced concrete bunkers protected by VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) and FM200 Gas Fire Suppression systems. They are humidity and climate controlled specifically for storing digital and magnetic media. They regularly undergo DR (Disaster Recovery) and BCP (Business Continuity Planning) testing as part of our annual ISO Certification process. We do not store hazardous materials in or near our secure storage areas.
Yes. In July 2006, Freightways Limited (FRE), our parent company based in New Zealand, acquired the Australian information management firm, DataBank Technologies Pty Ltd (DataBank).
Subsequently, within that year, a rebranding initiative was undertaken, and we were renamed as TIMG (The Information Management Group). It is worth noting that this transition was seamless for DataBank’s clientele, with no disruption to service operations, ensuring business continuity for all existing clients.
At TIMG, we protect your data using the time-honoured 3-2-1 backup strategy.
This approach ensures you always have:
3 copies of your data using
2 different storage mediums
1 of which is in the cloud.
The 3-2-1 rule offers the best strategy for keeping data out of harm’s way and only works effectively when done in conjunction with a secure offsite tape storage offering.
At TIMG, we have designed a Cloud to Tape solution – Powered by Veeam that removes traditional headaches associated with tape management such as expensive infrastructure maintenance costs and time-consuming hands-on management. The definition of an “Air-gapped backup” means that your data is offline and independent from other networks protecting you entirely from cyberattacks and ransomware. This strategy only works effectively when done in conjunction with a secure offsite tape storage offering.
At TIMG we have invested heavily in our compliance and accreditations. All TIMG’s operations are certified and compliant with the highest Australian and international information management standards.
