D2D refers to the disk-to-disk method of backup storage. With D2D, a computer hard disk is backed up to another hard disk rather than to a tape. Disk-to-disk systems are random-access storage, not linear or sequential like tape storage. Thus, D2D can send and receive multiple concurrent data streams. Relative to tape backup, D2D offers shorter backup windows, faster restores and quicker access. Random access D2D systems allow more incremental backups per full backup. As a result, time-consuming full backups can be scheduled less frequently. Unlike tape, individual files can be recovered from D2D without scanning the entire backup volume.
A backup server is generally implemented in an enterprise IT environment where computing systems across an organization are connected by a network to one or more backup servers. A backup server consists of standard hardware server with substantial storage capacity, mostly with redundant storage drives and a purpose built backup server application. The backup schedule for each computer may be installed with a client utility application or configured within the host operating system (OS). At the scheduled time, the host connects with the backup server to initiate the data backup process. The backup may be retrieved or recovered in the event of data loss, data corruption or disaster recovery. In the context of a hosting or cloud service provider, a backup server is remotely connected through the Internet on a Web interface or through Digitizer application programming interfaces.
