Scheduled
backups of your computer can prevent data loss due to
infections, hard drive failure or even the inadvertent,
accidental deletion.
With the
progress of technology, it's simple and very affordable to
have a comprehensive backup system in place to protect your
valuable data.

A backup solution for your
computers and servers is one of the most important
protections that you can have. The advantage is that the
price of the hardware to do backups has come down
dramatically so a complete solution is more affordable than
ever.
In business, how long would it
take to recreate your accounting data? According to
statistics supplied from The Diffusion Group, it would take
approximately 1 day to recreate 1 MB of data at a cost of
$2000 to $8000 per MB.
What happens when companies
suffer a major data loss? 60% close their doors after 6
months. 72% are gone after 2 years.
What are the odds that something
will cause this kind of data loss? Here are some
miscellaneous statistics:
-
A hard drive crashes every 15 seconds
-
2,000 laptops are stolen or lost every day
-
32% of data loss is caused by human error
-
31% of PC users have lost all of their PC files to events beyond
their control
-
25% of lost data is due to the failure of a portable drive
-
44% of
data loss caused by mechanical failures
-
15% or more of laptops are stolen or suffer hard drive failures
-
1 in 5 computers suffer a fatal hard drive crash during their
lifetime
-
The overall average failure rate of disk and tape drives is
100% - all drives eventually fail
There are few
things more satisfying that restoring critical data from
well planned backups when a client has suffered data loss
due to any of the factors mentioned above.
There is also
nothing more disheartening when you have a client contact
you who doesn't have a backup plan in place and they have
lost a significant portion of their data.
