Protect Your Data Now and Save Thousands of Dollars Later!

When Jeanne Reyer left for vacation in May she had no idea the disaster to which she would return. As Executive Director of Captain Hope’s Kids, a Texas-based charitable organization meeting the critical needs of homeless children, she depends heavily on volunteer support and donations. One morning while Jeanne was away, her staff arrived at the office to the unmistakable squealing noise that accompanies a server meltdown and inevitable loss of data.

The organization had just received new computers but they had not yet been networked appropriately and the data on them was not being backed up. To make matters worse, their two servers were supposed to be mirroring data as an additional backup measure, and that was not happening.

In the end, Captain Hope’s Kids lost data for an entire year. Reyer says that operations essentially stopped for two weeks while they attempted to salvage their data. In the end, very little useful information was recovered. Data recovery services were donated, in addition to countless volunteer hours donated to help recreate data files. Reyer has not yet added the total costs but estimates it will be in the thousands of dollars --- and she says they are still feeling the effects of their data disaster.

Unfortunately, the mishap at Captain Hope’s Kids is not that uncommon for small to mid-sized organizations and businesses. Consider the following statistics:

• 31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
  
  
• 34% of companies fail to test their tape back-ups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures.
  
  
• 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.
