Backup Recovery

working-at-nightIt’s a common occurrence: a file gets accidentally erased or overwritten, and you want the original from your office’s back-up. But when you ask about getting it, you hit a brick wall. It will take hours … or the back-up has been overwritten … or the back-up didn’t run. If this has ever happened to you, you have unreliable back-ups.

Unreliable back-ups like these are not only disappointing and inconvenient, they are tragedies waiting to happen. A catastrophic data loss can be fatal to small and medium-size businesses. A leading college text on IT* reports the following about companies experiencing a “major loss” of computer records:

  • 43% never reopen
  • 51% close within two years of the loss
  • Only 6% survive more than two years

Is being a part of the 94% an outcome your business can risk?
