Running a successful company is no easy feat. With so many hats to wear, the idea of business information being lost due to a power failure or system meltdown is the last thing you want to deal with. Data backup services are crucial to meeting the needs of your clients, recovering imperative information, and eliminating hours of frustration for everyone.
Data backup is the copying of computer data to another location in case information is lost due to an unexpected event. Typically, small/medium businesses are the least prepared and have no backup plan when it comes to securing their data. This may be due to a lack of understanding regarding the role of data recovery and/or lack of resources such as IT support and time.
Even with all the advancements in recent years, technology is still not a perfect science. These advancements help businesses run more efficiently, but many problems, even as simple as a failed driver is enough to send you back into the stone-age. Studies show that the three leading reasons for data being lost are:
• 44% of all data loss comes from hardware or system malfunctions
• Human error account for 32% of losses
• 7% of data loss is due to software corruption
• Natural disasters are responsible for 3% of data loss
Losing data is devastating to companies. Securing your information with data backup is the key to your business surviving after a data loss. It’s important to invest the time needed now to ensure that data can be recovered in the event things go wrong.
