Would your business survive a catastrophic data loss? Consider the following statistics:

• 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
• 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately. (National Archives & Records Administration in Washington)
• 30% of all businesses that have a major fire go out of business within a year. 70% fail within five years. (Home Office Computing Magazine)
• Simple drive recovery can cost upwards of $7,500 and success is not guaranteed.

Data loss can be extremely costly, if not fatal, to your business. You may think your information is safe but did you know:

• 6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year. In 1998, that translated to approximately 4.6 million data loss episodes costing U.S. businesses $11.8 billion that year. (The Cost Of Lost Data, David M. Smith) Imagine what it would be today!
• 31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
• 34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures.
