Averting Disaster and Saving Your Company

Considering how important a company's data can be to its very survival, it is amazing how few companies take the time and expense to plan, develop and implement a process for backing up their data. This is particularly remarkable when one considers the correlation of business failure and poor data backups. Several studies have shown that upwards of 80% of companies that lose their data (and are unable to recover it for more than three days) will file for bankruptcy within one year. 

How much is your data worth?

Unfortunately these studies do not consider the cost companies experience for a partial data loss. And every company has experienced data loss. Further, it is almost a certainty that every company will experience some loss of important data in their future. Regardless of effort, equipment will fail, power fluctuations, disgruntled employees  accidents, audits, lawsuits, the delete button, etc. All of these events will demand data to be restored. One would be hard pressed to not have a memory of some kind of data loss and a memory of how painful such a loss was. What is amazing though, is how slow many companies are with respect to learning from these experiences. It is indeed rare to find a company that has fully planned, designed, implemented and tested a data backup plan. In fact, data backup is placed at or near the bottom of most companies' IT budget and is therefore often underfunded or cut altogether. Small and medium sized businesses don't have staff that have been exposed to the myriad of possible problems their company may encounter. Thus it is common for IT staff to end up trying to explain why the "backup system", failed. Few companies actually have a backup plan for their data and fewer ever test the effectiveness of their backup system before they experience a data loss.
