Last year 33% of UK businesses had a security incident that involved loss of data (excluding viruses) [DTI ISBS 2004]. A quarter had accidental systems failures; unfortunately over two-thirds took more than a day to recover from their worst incident.

These delays inflicted major disruption to business operations in roughly half of the cases. Many businesses do not realise the value of backing up their data or even what method to use until it is too late. Others think they have good back-ups, only to find them unreliable when needed.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Only when problems strike do businesses realise the value of their missing data and the cost of trying to recover it, re-create it or do without it. By this stage it is often too late to avoid significant downtime, cost and embarrassment to your business.
