Most people consider hardware failure the primary cause of data loss - and statistically it is. But there are many reasons that data loss can occur.
 |
Natural disasters, such as fire, flood, or earthquake |
|
Criminal activity, such as theft, vandalism, or sabotage |
|
Unintentional acts, such as accidental deletion or overwriting files |
|
Hardware failure, including disk crashes, and memory corruption |
|
Software failure, including operating system and application errors |
|
Internet threats, such as viruses, spyware, and hackers |
| Most backup solutions safeguard your valuable business data against just some of these threats, but leave you exposed to others. Even the backups themselves can be vulnerable. Media loss, file corruption, misplacing tapes or CDs, lack of a sufficient retention period, or simply failing to regularly perform backups can mean that your well intentioned backup strategy can fail you when you need it most, leaving your business without adequite protection. |
