We have all seen the riots in the streets and destruction of businesses around the UK's major city's this past week. Unfortunately as with any disaster man-made or natural, a few of these businesses will never recover due to lost data.
A study was done back in 2003 and it was found that the estimated cost of data loss in the US came to $18 billion and that only 57% of companies actually backed up their data. You can imagine that now in 2011 the cost of losing data would have gone up substantially UK included.
The UK does not really suffer from many natural disasters, however the most recent events proves that destruction of business's can come overnight from any circumstance, so doing regular backups or having a disaster recovery solution this day in age is imperative.
If you need help with developing a backup or disaster recovery solution for your customers then please do not hesitate to contact us.
