Why backup?

With sales contracts, accounting records, marketing materials, business contacts and emails all being stored in digital format nowadays, it has become increasingly important for all businesses to back up your business data, because, in the event of hardware failure, restoring data from the backup is a much cheaper operation than rebuilding from scratch.

If you find yourself now in a situation where you have to deal with an explosion in the volume of your business data, you are not alone. The accelerating pace of data creation, accumulation, and diffusion is becoming an increasingly common phenomenon among companies throughout the world today. Data is growing exponentially due to widespread use of the Internet, email, and media-rich software. As early as 2002, International Data Corporation (IDC) projected a dizzying annual data growth rate of 80%.

1MB of data is worth almost £5,000!

Studies have shown that:

1MB of data is worth approximately £5,000¹.

Re-building just 20MB of lost data could cost more than £6,000 and take nearly three weeks to complete ².

A leaked record may cost you £90.00 to rectify³.

Retrieval of data from a crashed hard drive is often extremely costly, and there is NO GUARANTEE of success! ¹

Data loss makes your business suffer

Your business data go hand in hand with your business operations. The loss of such data, or even their temporary inaccessibility, may threaten your hard-earned competitive position.

Companies without proactive backup and recovery policies are likely to be OUT OF BUSINESS within 2 years of a major disaster⁴.

Loss of business data may ruin your company’s reputation, and may lead to expensive litigation.

Worst of all, it interrupts your business continuity.

Conventional approaches to backup are not good enough Poor “unstructured” conventional backup methodologies, such as tape, CD Rom, and external hard drive, et cetera, are not good enough because of:

• High failure rates during data restoration
• Difficulty in detecting problems of backup before performing restoration
• Slow read / write speed
• High maintenace 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)
