Backup your important data

Organizations are collecting more and more data on their workstations/servers. They are doing also regular data backups to prevent loss of assets, time and money. Are you doing data backups? Are you ready to lose your data?

Simplest hard disk drive failures are bad-blocks affecting single files. If file is important there is good chance that it can be recovered using proprietary tool. More destructive could be malware erasing or damaging random files, or user hitting "delete all" button on wrong marked files.

Hard disk drives aren't perfect and there is quite large probability that you hard disk will die. The last resort then are data recovery companies, but the cost starts from about thousand of dollars and more.

What about laptop theft or lost external drive? There are events that could physicaly destroy your hardware, like fire f.e. Then probably all is gone.

Backup your important data. In best case you will save your time or money. In worst you will prevent of loss of valuable data.
