Data Backup �C The Problems & Solutions
When you consider that the information on our computers is irreplaceable and often far more valuable than the computers themselves, it��s amazing how many individuals and businesses still don��t take data backup seriously.
Despite the importance of information within any business, the vast majority of small businesses do not have adequate backup and data recovery systems in place. Even when a solution is in place it is often fraught with problems; some of which are only discovered when it��s too late.
Home users are no different; often storing treasured photos of occasions never to be repeated in one place with no copy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
So why don��t we protect the information on our computers?
At The PC Support Group we have looked into this and it would appear that a combination of factors contribute to this potentially dangerous situation.
The first issue is simply that most businesses, particularly smaller ones, don��t fully appreciate the value of the information they have stored on their computers and believe that manually retrieving it (presumably by making a few phone calls and checking old paperwork) is a relatively trivial process.
This belief seems to stem from the fact that most businesses develop from the knowledge and skills of one or two people. Those people are often the major decision makers in all areas for some time and, due to day to day activity and pressures, they don��t realise the quantity or quality of information that is building up to help the business operate. As a result they don��t put protecting that information very high on the agenda.
Those that have recognised the need to protect their data are then faced with the challenge of knowing what the threats are and how to protect against them.
Data can be lost through hardware failure, software problems, malicious software such as viruses, theft of equipment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], human error or major physical disasters such as fire and flood. Considering all these issues can be a major challenge in its own right.
The next issue is that backup solutions are notoriously difficult to run and manage reliably - no one wants to take day-to-day responsibility for them and all too often they are left failing for prolonged periods.
Finally we have the old favourites: time and money. With all the other pressures placed on small businesses it is natural to put data backup on the ��to do�� list. Spending money on marketing and sales is seen as more important, so protecting the data will just have to wait�� after all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it��s not likely to fail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is it?
So let��s look at a few statistics:
