Hard Drive Recovery

The Facts About Data Recovery

If you’re like most business owners, data backup probably isn’t at the top of your list of urgent problems to address. Maybe you already have a backup solution in place, and you think your data is perfectly safe. I’ve run across many people who felt the same way until it was time for them to recover their data.

Still not convinced, consider the following statistics published by the National Computer Security Association. According to the association, without having an adequate backup solution in place it takes:

19 days and $17,000 to recreate just 20 MB of lost sales/marketing data

21 days and $19,000 to recreate just 20 MB of lost accounting data

42 days and $98,000 to recreate just 20 MB of lost engineering data

Have those figures piqued your interest? If so, here are some more interesting statistics to consider.
