What is my data worth?

As a business leader you value your business and the business data at its heart, which include client records, proposals, invoices, production, lists and presentation.  Loss of data can disrupt business life & destroy business value, be it human error, theft, flood or virus attack.  Your two most important assets are time.  Lose access to data and youv'e lost time!  On average 20MB of data equivalent to just 7 music tracks takes 30 hours to build and is worth up to £50,000.

You have invested a lot of TIME, MONEY, and ENERGY to develop your business data.  Is it really worth the risk wondering if your backup actually does take place; have you ever tried to restore your data? Is your backup done daily?

Who in the company is responsible for making sure it happens? Are they qualified and is it what they’re paid for? Are your valuable tapes stored securely offsite?

Here are some sobering statistics:

99% of all business do not do a daily backup,
60% of backups are incomplete,
50% of restores fail,

Only 25% of tapes stored off-site.
End user compliance with backups is only 8%.

What’s more, the law states that:

"You must safeguard your own or anyone else's data, by appropriate precautions against loss, corruption or unauthorized disclosure" - Data Protection Act, 1998
