 Below are some data loss statistics that I found
on
VehicleServicePros.com. This well-written
article about the importance of preventing
business data loss was written by Craig Woodman.
Woodman cited the following alarming statistics
on data loss. (Please note, I do not know where
he sourced these):
▪
A hard drive crashes every 15 seconds.
▪ 32% of data loss is caused by human error.
▪ 31% of PC users have lost all of their PC files to events beyond their control.
▪ 25% of lost data is due to the failure of a portable drive.
▪ 44% of data loss is caused by mechanical failures.
▪ 20% of computers suffer a fatal hard drive crash during their lifetime.
▪ 100% of all drives eventually fail.
Woodman highly recommended that business owners
keep their business data protected and that they
should make sure that a plan to back up and protect data
should always be in place. He further reminds
business owners that having a backup system in
place such as
Carbonite,
will keep businesses running again in the event
that a business owner's computer crashes. Smart
man, I must say.
