Why all the fuss about backup?
Chances are you have a lot of important stuff on your computer like financial documents, email, digital photos, music and more. Unfortunately, computers are vulnerable to hard drive crashes, virus attacks, theft, fire, natural disasters, and of course the odd child if you occasionally work from home - which can erase everything in an instant.
Current statistics show that one in every ten hard drives fail each year. The cost of recovering a failed hard drive can cost thousands of dollars, and success is never guaranteed.
Your data is growing in leaps and bounds
The pace of data creation and accumulation is becoming an issue among companies throughout the world. Data is multiplying due to widespread use of the internet, email, digital cameras/videos, and media-rich software. It's estimated that as early as 2002, we were experiencing an annual data growth rate of 80%!
1MB of data is worth $10,000
Your data represents the core of your business. You have invested a lot of TIME, MONEY and EFFORT in developing your business. Contracts, sales records, proposals, accounting records, marketing material, business contacts, emails, and even digital photos taken in important events, etc., make up the bulk of your invaluable business assets, which you cannot afford to lose. Studies have shown that:
- - 1MB of data is worth approximately $10,000. 1
- - Re-building just 20MB of lost data could cost more than $17,000 and take nearly three weeks to complete. 2
- - A leaked record may cost you $180 to rectify. 3
- - Retrieval of data from a crashed hard drive is often extremely costly, and there is NO GUARANTEE of success! 1
Data loss makes your business suffer
Companies without proactive backup and recovery policies are likely to be OUT OF BUSINESS within 2 years of a major disaster. 4 Loss of business data may ruin your company’s reputation, and may lead to expensive litigation. Worst of all, it interrupts your business continuity.
