Every business has a unique strategy which suits its scale of production and targeted customers. But all this effort becomes futile if a business has not installed a reliable backup technology and loses its data permanently. Business data is the most important asset and it should be the foremost priority of any business to secure its data. Without this essential data business would not be able to function smoothly.

According to the statistics compiled by Home Office Computing Magazine, 30 percent of the businesses that lose their data because of some major fire go out of business within a year and 70 percent of the fail within 5 year time. These statistics are alarming as business data is susceptible to many threats like power failure, virus attack, software and hardware malfunction, so exposure to any such threat means computer failure and loss of data for a business. Without a backup technology there is no other way that the business would be able to recover its data completely. As the statistics ...
... show that because of permanent loss of data business not only loses its revenue but it can even lead to total business failure.
