Data Backup
Are you aware how important backing up your data is? Here's a few facts just in case you aren't sure of the risks.
The following statistics where gathered from various sources
- The average business has £60,000 worth of computer data and many of them have little or no protection.
- It not only natural disasterss you should consider, what about everyday viruses, worms, hard drive crashes, software failures and even theft. These alone can turn any business upside down.
- Companies that aren't able to resume operations within ten days (of a disaster hit) are not likely to survive. (Strategic Research Institute)
- 60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
- Simple drive recovery can cost upwards of £7,500 and success is not guaranteed.
- 93% of companies that lost their data centre 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. (National Archives & Records Administration in Washington)
- 30% of all businesses that have a major fire go out of business within a year. 70% fail within five years. (Home Office Computing Magazine)
Whether it be earthquakes, floods, power surges, employee mistakes or theft there are quite simply to many risks to lose your system data. A specialised data backup/restore package should be the thing for you. At Novatekk we offer a wide range of different support levels depending on your business needs. have a look below at the different packages that we have to offer:
On-line
On-line backup storage is typically the most accessible type of data storage, which can begin restore in milliseconds time. A good example would be an internal hard disk or a disk array. This type of storage is very convenient and speedy.
Near-line
Near-line storage is typically less accessible and less expensive than on-line storage, but still useful for backup data storage. A good example would be a tape library with restore times ranging from seconds to a few minutes. A mechanical device is usually involved in moving media units from storage into a drive where the data can be read or written. Generally it has safety properties similar to on-line storage.
Off-line
Off-line storage requires some direct human action in order to make access to the storage media physically possible. Because the data is not accessible via any computer except during limited periods in which it is written or read back, it is largely immune to a whole class of on-line backup failure modes. Access time will vary depending on whether the media is on-site or off-site.
Off-site data protection
To protect against a disaster or other site-specific problem, many people choose to send backup media to an off-site vault. The vault can be as simple as a system administrator’s home office that has facilities for backup media storage. Importantly a data replica can be off-site but also on-line. Such a replica has fairly limited value as a backup, and should not be confused with an off-line backup.
