For all companies, large and small, network interruptions can have disastrous effects on those who are not prepared. Even the smallest of mishaps, such as a CEO’s double-tall, vanilla latte spilling on a workstation can leave critical business intelligence lost or compromised.
All outages, from a workstation to a complete infrastructure outage are expensive. Lost productivity due to downtime can add up to staggering amounts, even before considering the cost of replacing hardware and reconstructing lost knowledge. It has been estimated that the average small to medium sized business experiences 6 outages a year primarily because of cyber attacks, power outages and hardware failure. Among these SMB’s, half of them back up only 60% of their data, and only 23% perform daily backups.
Is tape backup still kicking? Regardless of the risk, most SMB’s still back up to tape because they're comfortable with the technology, or they don't have the resources to explore newer data backup strategies. Unfortunately, most SMB’s adopt worst practices with tape backup, including failing to move backup tapes offsite, poor administration of tape libraries and improper media rotation. It’s estimated that magnetic tape failure rates are between 41-72%. What’s your plan? Are you ready??
