It is easy to assume that documents are automatically being saved. It is also common to wait to save your document until you are done writing it. In reality, your computer could crash at any time and then it makes getting any documents back nearly impossible if they are not backed up properly. You could lose everything in an instant if you don’t plan ahead.
How it happens:
Accidentally deleting files is one of the most common reasons that data is not secured. Ironically enough, this is actually human error rather than technical. This error accounts for 32% of data loss and is completely preventable.
Damaging Malware and viruses take up 7% of data loss and while this may not be human error, it is preventable by having proper anti-virus protection and software. This is why having the best antivirus protection is of the utmost importance.
Damages to a hard drive account for 44% of data loss with the potential of devastating your business. From an electrical failure to a media crash, your data could be compromised.
Power failures are another common aid to data loss. Turning your system back on doesn’t necessarily mean salvation. Anything that is not properly backed up will be wiped out instantly. This situation could also cause a chain reaction on your hard drive.
Accidents always happen when you least expect them and it is best to be prepared when one occurs. Fires or water damage can happen at any time and if you don’t have files and data secured somewhere off of your computer then you are in danger of losing everything.
