3-2-1 BACKUP STRATEGY
Heard of the 3-2-1 rule?
At TIMG, we protect your data using the time-honoured 3-2-1 backup strategy. Tape plays a vital role in this strategy because it offers redundancy with your storage mediums, but also allows for greater retention.
The 3-2-1 rule 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. Let us help you set this up for your organisation.
TAPE IS NOT DEAD
Managed Tape and Cloud Backup Services

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 clients, with no disruption to service operations, ensuring business continuity for all existing clients.
