If it doesn’t matter how modern your technology is, how much you have invested in it or how careful you are when using it, unfortunately problems are always a possibility.
One of the most serious consequential problems of a technology failure arises from the loss or corruption of your data.
Space here doesn’t permit a full discussion of the technical reasons as to why that can happen but it can. There are also a number of different types of data problem, just a sample of which might include:
• Data that has been derived or input and then subsequently lost.
• Information that has somehow or another become corrupted and is therefore not retrievable, usable or trustworthy – or perhaps a variety of all these things.
The impact on your business of finding yourself in such a position is almost too terrible to contemplate.
You may end up needing to explain to customers why their information has been lost and that they must provide it again. It may be difficult to engage in billing or debt collection because you simply don’t know what the real situation is. Your customers may be looking at information on your systems and seeing that it is fundamentally inaccurate or out of date.
Of course, the longer a problem persists, the greater the cumulative effects of the damage to your data and your professional credibility are likely to be.
In a nutshell, this is why data recovery solutions are important.
Data recovery solutions in themselves can’t stop a problem happening. What they can do though is to ensure that you are able to make the fastest possible recovery and to get your data back to a point in time before the problem occurred. This is sometimes referred to as doing a ‘data restore’.
Thinking about the frequency of data backups and how to restore to a given point in time is a science that we at Server Sentry are experts in. This process isn’t one where a business should be taking chances or making wild guesses.
Remember that ultimately your data recovery solutions may be all that stands between your business and catastrophe. That’s why it’s essential to take this subject seriously and highly advisable to contact us for further advice and guidance.
