Each day we take it for granted that our computer hard
disks will be reliable and that our files and folders,
photographs, Apple iTunes, MP3s, accounts and other
important documents are safe.
Everyday thousands of hard disks around the world fail
for one reason or another. Somethimes it is possible
to recover the data but this can be expensive and very
time consuming.
Aside from disk failure we have all the other common
perils to consider:
- Fire or water damage
- Theft
- Accidental damage to equipment and back up CD's
- Loss of backup tapes and CD's
- 10% of laptops are lost or stolen each year
- 44% due to hardware failure or a system malfunction
- 3% are down to natural disasters
- 21% through viruses
- 32% down to human error
- Losing pictures of a memorable holiday, wedding,
family gathering just can't be replaced.
