What facts about data loss?

I was in data recovery for many years and have read and heard, how many "facts" which are the causes and costs of developing the collection of data loss. And the best way to ensure full data loss never happens. If these "facts" and how the best and really, how accurate is it? Where do they come? Sellers of the rule, if the device manufacturers, authors, companies or try to copy the only solution is to sell, even better. How accurate are the facts? Probably fairly accurate, if a shortcut to separate from reality, but in reality if you look at bigger picture, who really knows.

Examples of "facts" are easy to find the network as follows: -

93% of the companies which are registered in their data centers for 10 days or more disaster bankrupt within a year lost in the disaster. 50% of the companies who have been without the management of data for the same period the bankruptcy immediately. "

Among the companies who participated in the survey, the price downtime

46 percent say that every hour outage would cost the companies up to $ 50,000

28 percent said the hours between $ 51,000 and cost $ 250.000

18 percent of each hour would be between $ 251,000 and $ 1,000,000 costs, 8 percent said their companies to pay more than $ 1,000,000 per hour. "

I wish the company would be one million U.S. dollars per hour, the data will be lost if I lose! When I retired a long time ago: "If the risk of data loss and survival of the company, I do not know, and I think I do not know the contractor any loss of data, really, but please keep me no longer" the threat, the extent of information loss, the survival of my business information to follow: -

40% of respondents in the cost of downtime, "says 72 hours

21% said 48 hours

15% said 24 hours

8% said 8 hours

9% said 4 hours

3% said 1 hour,

4% said within one hour. "

These "facts" about the implications for loss of data discussed in the following: "the facts" may be the reason of data loss.

The main causes of data loss:

78% hardware failure

11% of human error

7%, damage or malfunction of the software

2% of computer viruses

1% of natural disasters

Other 1%

Depending on location, equipment and software, agreed to is not safe for some of you with the reasons given above.

Let's look a bit "on" Facts "information about user trends -

Nearly three out of five PC users, but e-he thought that saving too little.

Check back often to digital files, up to 85 per cent of computer users are very concerned about losing important digital data.

keep 82 percent of the production of important electronic documents are stored.

Thirty-seven percent of respondents said that backup files at least once a month.

Nine per cent admitted that they never back up files.

Approximately 22 percent back up information is on the list, but rarely.

Among the users of personal computers, backup data:

Save up to 68 percent of the most important things for them across the hard disk and removable media such as floppy disks (79 percent) compact disks (CD, 58 per cent).

30 percent of companies say they do not yet back in place, and two of the three companies believe that their data backup and recovery plans for a major disaster vulnerabilities.

Eighty-seven percent of companies say that the official backup date and place on the protection and 79 percent of companies it is essential to their long-term preservation and storage to test the tape. The study also showed that 85 percent of companies considered the team's key recovery technology, and 83 percent mentioned the team has an important role in support of increased life in this environment, more regulatory certainty today.

Research shows that 61 percent of respondents use several well-designed and tape backup and hard drive space, all the techniques. In addition, 89 percent believes the tape to see the primary data recovery technology, and 83 per cent of the band is also important to the legal requirements for data storage.

Polls showed that 36 percent of IT departments, their procedures to safeguard and recovery planning and disaster recovery after 9 / 11 changed Most of these changes are the following: procedures for routine testing (56%) and the transfer of data to backup site (43%) developed.
But still, at least 30 percent of companies did not act officially back.

Fifty-nine percent of the companies surveyed to test the backup and storage systems, at least once every three months. By periodic review of external assurance, and reimbursement systems far from common practice - only 32 percent of an external audit report.

Six percent of all teams suffering from an episode of data loss in a given year. Since the number of computers in U.S. companies in 1998, which means around 4.6 million cases of data loss.

30 percent of all enterprises that have a large fire loss for the year. Seventy per cent within five years

93% of the companies which are registered in their data centers for 10 days or more disaster bankrupt within a year lost in the disaster. "

50% of the companies who have been without the management of data for the same period the bankruptcy immediately.

Companies that are able to resume within ten days (of victims) did not survive.

All these "facts" are subjective, private individuals and businesses, we can reasonably assume that they are speculative. Each organization has different levels of information and, hopefully, most of the opportunity to back up and restore data. These methods differ mainly on two factors: in order to avoid the cost of data protection and availability of resources.

You do not know how or want to admit, the first and mercenary as follows: -

You can replace all, just everyone in the organization, tables, chairs, software, equipment and buildings. Even people can be replaced, but if the data is lost is lost. In short, we do not have a clue who to customers, have no idea what they owe, and collect money. Your company has serious problems if it is not terminal.

I am sure that if you think you think that just to read only because they rightly regarded as 100%.

What is the best way to protect your information always make sure that you can restore? and tape backup and locally stored in a fireproof safe? And backup data center outside of the SPA from afar? Well, if you can afford, and if you can, probably a lot of information (price 8000-500 GB of free backup 200 per month), it is best to use both approaches, the team can ensure the shortest recovery time and backup in a safe place away from the rest of the task is to ensure that the information are always safe and secure regardless of disaster.

If the cost of voltage drop, and then back up again, without the initial costs of low monthly payments within a reasonable choice, you can take a few days up to 500 GB of data to recover, but at least the most important thing may be done, and asks firmy continue without serious consequences .
