Backup Services

Why Backup?

10 - Theft	Needless to say, backups are invaluable to those victimized by theft – as long as the backups were not stolen as well!
9 - Vandalism / Terrorism	September 11th taught some companies the meaning of Disaster Planning & Recovery and clearly identified those that had not made plans for restoring backups elsewhere.
8 - Flood	A customer of ours discovered the value of backups when a heavy rain storm produced major leaks inside the building and destroyed several pieces of equipment.
7 - Fire	If good backups are kept off-site, the most important information can be reproduced when needed.
6 - Intrusion / Malicious People	Hackers, disgruntled employees, ex-employees, etc.
5 - Viruses / Malicious Software	Many viruses destroy data, some viruses and other malicious programs open back doors for further possible damage.
4 - Power Surge	Lightning, wind damage, and water can all contribute to surges or spikes
3 - Hard Drive Failure	All hardware will eventually fail, hard drives run constantly and are weakened by heat which can accelerate failure.
2 - Software Failure	File corruption, bugs, incompatibilities.
1 - Human Error	Although not technically a disaster, human error is the single most common cause of data loss.
