Backup and Disaster Recovery

Backing up company data is one of the most important functions you usually learn the hard way. Often appreciated in hindsight, a backup solution should keep you protected from the endless number of things that can go wrong on electronic devices or data loss arising from user error.

Can you afford to find out if your business can survive a significant data loss?

Statistics show that it's very hard for many small companies to survive a significant data loss or downtime caused from server failure.

The following statistics were gathered from various sources.

• 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
• 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.
