Assured Backup & Recovery
Why Worry About Backups?
Every organization runs some kind of backups. The question is,
how confident are you in those backups?
The reasons for data backups are well known.
-
Drive failures are the most common source of data loss, with
annual failure rates ranging from 8% for servers to 19% for laptop
computers. Other common causes of data loss are accidental deletions
of files by users, virus damage or deletions, desktop and laptop
damage, loss, or theft, software bugs, and disgruntled employees.
All in all, 50% of businesses report having lost important business
data due to these causes.
-
If you have an IT staff in your office your data backups
are likely in good shape. But backing up servers and desktops
at remote
sites may be another issue, and almost certainly, laptops used
by mobile users are not backed up routinely. Surveys show that
50% of desktops at remote sites are not backed up regularly
and 85% of laptops are either never backed up or not backed
up regularly.
The people in closest contact with your customers have the
data that is least likely to be backed up. That is something
to worry
about.
-
Even if you are sure that data backups are being run regularly,
there are other issues. How do you know that the backups
were successful?
How do you know that open files are being backed up? Are backups
taken off site to protect them from a disaster? Are the backups
encrypted to prevent access to your data if the backup media
is lost or stolen? If the backup media are stored off site,
how long does it take to get the media back and the data
restored?
Is there someone who can identify what media to restore from
and perform the restoration?
-
