What causes Data Loss?

• Mechanical problems
• Human Error
• Theft and Damage
• Virus Infections
• Acts of Nature

In a 2005 study by the Australian Institute of Criminology, findings showed that only 7% of respondent organisations reported they were managing computer security issues reasonably well.

In fact, of the respondents, 59% reported laptop theft as occurring within their organisation during the past 12 months, 50% reported virus or worm infection, 29% reported insider abuse of email and computer resources and 6% reported theft or breach of confidential information.

These are all threats to data.

Why online backup?

Backup and recovery plans can be expensive to invest in. There is the cost of hardware, the co st of the software, and the cost of hiring trained employees to handle the process. In addition there is the time, which equals cost, of performing the backup process.

Through its automated process, its need for little or no additional investments, and the quick and easy availability for data recovery, you should see immediate results in your bottom line. Datagard online backup can take this task onboard and free up your time and money.
