Data Backup - A Hidden Problem for Many Businesses

Data protection doesn’t have to be expensive, but data loss is!

When their IT system crashes, some businesses suddenly find out that they have a problem.  Material they thought was being backed up was not.  Records are corrupt.
They do not know where to find essential material or how to restore it.  Costs and Loss of income trying to rectify the problem can be crippling.

Are you aware that:

• Up to 80% of a company’s business critical data resides on a PC.  (Source: Gartner/IDC)
• Around 70% of companies go out of business after a major data loss.  (Source: DTI)
• 32% of data loss is due to user error.  (Source: Gartner Group)
• 10% of laptops are stolen annually.  (Source: Gartner Group)
• 15% of laptops suffer hardware failure annually.  (Source: Gartner Group)

Stored data is vital to the function of your business.  Loss of data can be disastrous with long term consequences as well as short term nuisance.

• Almost all businesses have files and data stored on PCs or Servers.
• Computer data is very important to a business…. often absolutely vital.
• Frequently the location of the data is not well known to the users.
• Most users do not know where precious email & contact data is stored.
• Data may be stored on multiple PCs/Laptops without users being aware of the significance, and therefore is not backed up.

Most businesses have some kind of backup system for their data, but many do not realise that their back up routine may not be providing the protection they think.

• How often the backup is done can be quite variable.
• What is backed up is often not well known.
• The actual costs of running the backup system are not considered. Manual systems hide considerable costs.

It takes a computer disaster to reveal the weakness in backups.

• Quite often the backup data is not up to date and too often important data was not backed up.
• Allowance is often not made for accidental file deletion.
• The costs of recovering from a computer disaster can be VERY HIGH, including recovery/rebuilding data plus trading costs with no income.
