FAILURES
HAPPEN
Computers crash, mistakes are made,tapes fail, disks corrupt, hard drives fail. ARE
YOU PREPARED?
Among companies who lose data in a disaster, 50% NEVER RE-OPEN and 90% are
out of business within 2 years. Statistics indicate that business
interuptions were caused by human error 34%, power problems 29%, and
enviromental incidents 10% 20MB of lost accounting
data takes 21 days and costs $19,000 to reproduce. Tape
backups are notoriosly unreliable. Static sensative tapes are
fragile and can lose data or stretch and no longer hold data. Tape
procedures require human intervention to ensure tapes are rotated
and stored OFF SITE (most are stored on site) Todays
computers may be bigger and faster, but this does not equate to
better. Between the blue screen of death and hard drive failures,
being prepared is more important than ever. |
