Disasters Strike When You Least Expect It- So Protect your Data
Jan 18th
–It Shouldn’t Take a Situation Like the Earthquake in Haiti to Realize You Must Protect Your Data From Catastrophic Loss –
Fires, floods, hurricanes, power outages and other natural disasters can all wreck havoc with business continuity especially if you don’t backup your data on a regular basis.
The dramatic situation in Haiti shows us that unfortunately they need to start from scratch now, rebuilding from the ground up. The hospitals and even the Haitian government is at a major loss because there are no resources, no database, and no data from the field because everything is down. It’s difficult for them to make a decision now about how to move forward because they don’t know where to start.
Studies have shown that when a business is down for more than three days the likelihood that it will go out of business permanently is great. That is because if customers can’t reach you, if employees can’t access the data and must be sent home and if business comes to a grinding halt because you can’t access your data– then you lose income, credibility and customers for the duration of time that your business is down.
By backing up your data regularly, no one has to worry about this situation occurring.
According to PC Magazine, in 1876, Lieutenant Colonel George Custer led a small force of soldiers against an overwhelming force of Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors at Little Bighorn. Reinforcements were on the way, but Custer thought he wouldn’t need them. Everyone knows what happened to Custer. The moral of his story is that no force can succeed if it stands alone and outnumbered. The same is true of your business data. Without a solid backup plan you may be making your last stand.
You must realize that every business and organizations have unique connections and there is no substitute or source to recreate these connections unless you have a backup for your business assets.
You owe it to yourself and your business to investigate breakthrough backup and recovery solutions that reduce both cost and complexity while increasing IT’s capability to protect critical business data and minimize business disruptions during recoveries. Whether its emails, accounting, or business documents, everything today is digital and backup is essential in today’s business environment because you never know what can happen.
Must Have Advice: Backup Your Business Emails!
Dec 18th
A recent study by Osterman Research concludes that approximately sixty-percent of critical business information is stored within the company’s email system. The report also found that nearly fifty-percent of businesses do not backup and store critical email data.
E-mail has essentially become the critical lifeblood of modern businesses and has irrefutably overtaken paper-based correspondence as the preferred method of corporate communications.
As a result of the ever-increasing dependence on e-mail, strict requirements and regulations for e-mail archiving have become mandatory in most industries, especially in the financial, healthcare, and legal industries.
Undoubtedly, backing up email data should be a critical part of the overall data protection plan of your business. Just a few files or of irrecoverable data can lead to lawsuits, fines, lost revenue and lost clients.
Protecting your business emails is crucial to your businesss infrastructure and operations. With a reliable backup system in place, you can retrieve lost email records easily, which could potentially save your reputation, as well as time, money, and additional frustrations.
10 Big Reasons to Get Rid of External Hard Drive Backup
Dec 16th
Critical business data is stored in digital format nowadays and disasters-whether natural or man made- can quickly and easily destroy your data. The question is not if, but when, as ALL hard drives fail, it’s only a matter of time.
Data loss can be caused for any number of reasons, including hardware malfunction, user error, computer viruses, software corruption or natural disasters, which can be caused by power surges, lightning strikes, static electricity, floods, fires, accidents, sabotage and so on. The following is a list of ten common causes of data loss associated with obsolete backup systems that will eventually affect your company:
1. Data not stored off-site - Exposure to risks like fire, flood, theft and sabotage.
2. Disks (i.e. external/internal hard drives, business servers, etc.) have a 100% failure rate- it’s just a matter of time before yours will fail.
3. Overheating can damage the hard drives,tapes, and most forms of older backup systems.
4. Saving only one copy of data.
5. Human error.
6. Mechanical parts of hardware may fail if handled improperly. For example, dropping an external hard drive will cause it to malfunction and your backup data will be lost.
7. Files are not encrypted. If anyone gets their hands on your data, they can use the data maliciously.
8. Bad sectors on a disk will not retain data.
9. Backup is not monitored to ensure the safety and security of your company’s data.
10. Not under RAID array.
These ten reasons outline only a few of the reasons why external disk backups are unreliable and will eventually fail. Therefore, have a reliable backup system in place BEFORE problems occur and your business data is lost forever.
