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 isn’t 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 handle 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 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.
