Everyone thinks a computer crash won’t happen to them – until it does. Even businesses with knowledgeable IT departments are prone to computer crashes, viruses and other interruptions in technology. If a computer network isn’t backed up, data recovery may be very difficult – sometimes, impossible. For a small business owner, data loss could result in having to start from scratch – or worse yet, in seeing their businesses fail.
According to SOS Online Backup, 90% of small businesses say they intend to back up their data daily; but unfortunately, only 51% of small businesses actually do it. In the South, where tornadoes, hurricanes and severe storms are prominent threats, data loss is an even greater risk. In fact, the Institute for Business and Home Safety reports that an estimated 25% of businesses affected by a major disaster never re-open – often, because their data was wiped out and couldn’t be recovered.
Fortunately, Down East Protection Systems can help you prevent devastating data loss with online backup services for your business networks. Using a secure online resource, we can backup your system on a routine basis so that if a crash occurs, your data can be easily recovered.
