Having no Backup is unacceptable. Read on…  

•  Just one megabyte of your data is worth $10,000.

•  The restoration of just 20 megabytes of sales and marketing data costs the average business 19 days and $17,000.00. Take into account that: 

• •     6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year.
• •     31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.

•  50% OF BUSINESSES NEVER RECOVER FROM A DISASTER IN WHICH VALUABLE DATA IS LOST!

Of companies who lose their data in a disaster:

• •    90% are out of business within two years...
• •    Nearly 50% never reopen their doors at all afterwards!
• •    60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.

•  34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures.

•  93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately.

•  Power loss, blackouts and surges take out thousands of hard drives every year. CDs get scratched, broken and misplaced. Tapes are high on reading and writing errors.  Worse still, the unencrypted format of the data storage means this valuable information can fall in sight of unwanted prying eyes.

•  Human error, theft, viruses, natural disasters. They all happen. They can cost valuable time, money and resource; even bring down a business. Unless, of course, there is a backup plan!
