Entrepreneurs, why you need to backup your data

In the past, data were written and stored in archive to keep a record of them. This was inefficient in many ways. The task was manually achieved, the authentic replication was not assured, the process required a lot of time.

Today we answered most of these problems thanks to digitizing, but most of your data are never backed-up and replicated even with a backup strategy in place.

77% of those companies who did test their tape backups found back-up failures. (Boston Computing Network, Data Loss Statistics)

The threat is simply to loose the data.

Risk management speaking, data-loss is an important factor. It’s part of the situation that can happen to everybody and we can’t neutralize this risk.

Thankfully we can reduce this by adopting an adequate backup strategy.
