Data-loss disasters DO happen.
UNC’s Information Technology Service reports that “a hard drive crashes every 15 seconds.” If you do the math, that’s 354,600 a day. Data-loss disasters DO happen. They are unpredictable and uncontrollable. They can also wreck your livelihood: 70% of smaller firms that experience a major data-loss go out of business within a year.*
Conventional backup methodologies, such as tape, CD Rom, and external hard drives, are not good enough:
- High failure rates during data restoration
- Difficulty in detecting problems of backup before performing restoration
- Slow read / write speed
- High maintenance cost
- Expensive offsite storage of tape library
- Reduced flexibility for backup caused by fixed capacity per backup media
- Increased likelihood of occurrence of negligence-induced problems (e.g. lost or misplaced data)
- You (or someone you trust) has to monitor, test, update and secure them daily
proven backup™’s service alleviates all of the concerns associated with conventional backup systems. While there are many ways that a data-loss disaster may happen the key is being prepared. Daily confirmation emails will let you know that your data has been backed up, is safe and accessible whenever and wherever you need it.
