Risks of Tape Backup
* Unprotected if tapes are stolen and data is read.
* 50% of tape backups do not successfully restore critical data.
* Amount of time to restore data from tapes.
* Exorbitant labor costs due to growing tape libraries.
We also offer File Recovery and Data Recovery Services for those who have suffered a loss or failure. Lost files or missing data can be recovered. However, the recovery of files or recovery of data will depend on what you do next. Thinking of installing a file recovery software? Think again. Once you start installing software, you run the risk of overwriting that lost data or deleted file. The best thing to do is turn off the computer and bring it to a professional. Do not continue to use the computer or reboot the computer. Each time yor reboot or use an application temporary files are written to the hard drive. And again you diminish the chance of recovery of the lost data or missing file. In other words, the more you do, the less of a chance we can recovery the file or data.
Missing hard drive partitions are also recoverable. It is important that you do not attempt to re-partition or re-install the operating system when a partition recovery is required. Physical hard drive failure is recoverable, but it the more costly processes of the bunch. Hard drive failures in most cases must be sent to a lab for recovery.
Is file recovery, data recovery, partition recovery or hard drive recovery for you? It depends on how much the data is worth to your business. Are you willing to pay for it's recovery? If it is, for example, music files you downloaded from your MP3 player or the hard drive that had your favorite game on it . . . probably not. Most residential or personal use computers won't pass that qualifying question, but it is up to you to decide. For a business, most data is considered critical and it's recovery is required.
