Data Significance
The loss or corruption of critical information such as customer records, inventories, marketing and sales materials, financial or employee records could literally cripple an organization. Small businesses are typically the most vulnerable to data loss because they do not have the resources or technology to handle data storage and recovery properly or securely... which is the most critical aspect of a solid business continuity plan. Even larger businesses that allocate significant resources to IT, are vulnerable if they do not manage all of the data (including remote and mobile employee data) properly.

Are You Prepared?
Only a small fraction of businesses or employees backup their critical data. Even fewer handle their backups properly or store them securely offsite. We all want to believe that data disaster will not happen to us. But statistics say it will. Accidents happen: natural disasters, human error, theft, viruses, hackers, power surges and equipment failure. Can you afford to risk the future of your business to data loss?

To combat the inevitable, data backups must be performed regularly and cataloged properly. Unless your backups are handled and stored offsite properly, your business is susceptible to threats of typical data loss as well as competitive theft or the malicious behavior of disgruntled employees.

When data loss occurs, countless hours and thousands of dollars can be spent in attempts to recreate the data while struggling to maintain customers. But, reality is that most businesses do not survive significant data loss. The value of your data becomes evident when you realize what it would take to replace all of those irreplaceable files. How much time and effort would it take to reconstruct your contact databases, presentations, spreadsheets, e-mails, financial records, forecasts, expense logs and proposals? The time, effort, aggravation, and monetary costs to recreate this data can be unbearable.

Typical Causes of Data Loss

• 44% - Hardware Failure
  Did you know: Most hard drive manufacturers only warrant their drives for 12 months?
• 30% - Human Error
  Accidental file overwrite and/or deletion.
• 12% - Software Corruption
  Programming errors, improper application termination, etc.
• 7% - Virus Attacks
  Are you fully protected from the constant introduction of new viruses?
• 7% - Theft, Fire, Flood, or other natural disaster

Backups - The Old-Fashioned Way
For those few companies who perform regular backups, many utilize dated technology to safeguard their critical data. They utilize un-encrypted discs and tapes, which are rarely cataloged properly and seldom stored offsite in a secure location. It’s important to understand that if your data is not encrypted and stored securely, you have only made it more accessible for a competitor or disgruntled employee. Although you think you are protecting your investment, your risk and liability have increased dramatically by pre-packaging your critical data and making it accessible.

Performing backups the old fashioned way dramatically increases your cost too. It takes time, money and resources to load and schedule backups, change disks and tapes, and transport them to a secure facility. What’s more costly is that your data is no longer easily accessible. When a data loss occurs, your data might be off-site in an unknown condition. To ensure your data is actually restorable, you must test all of your backups to ensure they are cataloged properly, un-damaged and un-corrupted. The fact is: most businesses that do their own tape backups, know that data restoration from tape is not reliable. Therefore, they are actively looking for a more cost effective, reliable and secure backup solution.
