More Data and IT Information

Knowing these are facts is pretty scary:
100% of disk and tape drives eventually fail
34% of companies test backups of those who do, of those wo do, 77% have found failure
60% of companies lose data will go out of business within 6 months of disaster
1/2 of corporate data reside on unprotected PC desktops and laptop
O Other percentages for data loss:
78% of hardware or systems malfunction
11% human error (of course, we mess up)
7% of software is corrupt (ask my husband how he felt
about vista in 2007)
2% of computers
1% other (whatever other is...?)
25% of users do not back up their computer files
22% backing up PC is on to do list
30% companies report not a disaster recovery program
1 in 25 notebooks are stolen, broken, or destoryed each year
500 times more data stored on drives then a decade ago
30% chance of corrupted file in one year
We continue to be vulnerable even when we know the facts.
