These days, the secure storage of data has become a crucial element in the continued success of businesses. Because so many options are available, and so much data is already stored, consolidating it all in a method that allows full control is a Herculean task.

Where the traditional tape backups are used, the risk of stretching, snapping, and losses during change-over create uncertainty in the security of your crucial data. There is also a constant challenge involved with switching tapes, which creates unnecessary hassle. Offsite storage in this arena also increases costs and turnaround time.

Reporting is often insufficient and difficult to manage, as manual identification is required to show which backups were or were not successful, which means that engineers, costing well over what is reasonable, must perform reporting functions. This adds the risk of finger-errors in reporting, so reducing the accuracy and timeliness of these reports.

As there are very few skilled engineers in this field, this practise becomes costly and unmaintainable.
As an added challenge, most companies using cloud backup services are billed on a rigid structure, that doesn't allow for varying usage models. In terms of price per GB, costing incentives and costing breakdowns, the ratios used in cost allocation are usually inaccurate, and don't allow for cost-saving in your cloud storage system.
