The information technology has brought revolution to the operations of every organization. However the over employment of computers has its own risks; the data stored in these machines is exposed to a risk of loss due to its non-tangible nature. And this loss can be such that there isn’t be a reliable way of recovering the entire data.

Since these computers, in some cases, are employed to store vital data, a non-recoverable loss can pose a serious threat to the healthy functioning of any organization.
