Causes of Data Loss
Most small business owners I speak with have no absolutely no idea what they would do or what their backup and disaster recovery plan is should either a natural disaster or catastrophic hardware failure strike.
Almost all of them have no proactive disaster recovery plan in place or no backup at all.
Data Backup and Restoration Services
Did you know that one of the only ways to retrieve data damaged enough to be deemed “irretrievable” is from a comprehensive backup of your original data? Currently, we’re thirty some years into household personal computing and statistics say that about 6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year. The following statistics were gathered from various sources:
- 6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year. Given the number of PCs used in US businesses in 1998, that translates to approximately 4.6 million data loss episodes. At a conservative estimate, data loss cost US businesses $11.8 billion in 1998. (The Cost Of Lost Data, David M. Smith)
- 30% of all businesses that have a major fire go out of business within a year. 70% fail within five years. (Home Office Computing Magazine)
- 31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
- 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures.
- 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
- 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately. (National Archives & Records Administration in Washington)
- American business lost more than $7.6 billion as a result of viruses during first six months of 1999. (Research by Computer Economics)
- Companies that aren’t able to resume operations within ten days (of a disaster hit) are not likely to survive. (Strategic Research Institute)
- Every week 140,000 hard drives crash in the United States. (Mozy Online Backup)
- Simple drive recovery can cost upwards of $7,500 and success is not guaranteed.
Looking for a way to keep your data safe and secure? We will come up with a custom solution designed especially for your business or network. We will guarantee the safety of your data while protecting it from viruses, malware and malicious attacks.
The bottom line is that if you value what’s kept on your computer, it’s wise to take steps to protect your information from sudden loss. Work can be redone, but the loss of cherished files like family and travel photos is permanent. The investment in an ongoing backup solution is small compared to what it may cost you in terms of emotional and monetary distress if all of your data was gone permanently.
