The loss or corruption of critical information such as customer records, inventories, marketing and sales materials, financial or employee records could literally cripple an organization. Small businesses are typically the most vulnerable to data loss because they do not have the resources or technology to handle data storage and recovery properly or securely… which is the most critical aspect of a solid business continuity plan. Even larger businesses that allocate significant resources to IT, are vulnerable if they do not manage all of the data (including remote and mobile employee data) properly.

Are You Prepared?

Only a small fraction of businesses or employees backup their critical data. Even fewer handle their backups properly or store them securely offsite. We all want to believe that data disaster will not happen to us. But statistics say it will. Accidents happen: natural disasters, human error, theft, viruses, hackers, power surges and equipment failure. Can you afford to risk the future of your business to data loss?

Causes of Data Loss
44% -	Hardware Failure Did you know: Most hard drive manufacturers ony warrant their drives for 12 months?
30% -	Human Error Accidental file overwrite and/or deletion.
12% -	Software Corruption Programming errors, improper application termination, etc.
7% -	Virus Attacks Are you fully protected from the constant introduction of new viruses?
7% -	Theft, Fire, Flood, or other natural disaster

To combat the inevitable, data backups must be performed regularly and cataloged properly. Unless your backups are handled and stored offsite properly, your business is susceptible to threats of typical data loss as well as competitive theft or the malicious behavior of disgruntled employees.

When data loss occurs, countless hours and thousands of dollars can be spent in attempts to recreate the data while struggling to maintain customers. But, reality is that most businesses do not survive significant data loss.

The value of your data becomes evident when you realize what it would take to replace all of those irreplaceable files. How much time and effort would it take to reconstruct your contact databases,presentations, spreadsheets, e-mails, financial records, forecasts, expense logs and proposals? The time, effort, aggravation, and monetary costs to recreate this data can be unbearable.
