Data Backup & Recovery

“Small businesses know they can’t afford to lose data. Yet more than half (58 percent) of them are not prepared for data loss.” – According to a report by Clutch, a Washington, DC-based research firm.

According to a report conducted in 2017 by Small Business Trends, 140,000 hard drives in the US fail each week. Even more concerning is that “60% of small to medium businesses that lose their data will shut down within six months.”

Businesses in the modern age run depend on the generation and acquisition of data. It helps to influence business decisions. It makes marketing more effective and precise. Data drives all of our work today. This reliance on data, however, also means that it’s growing ever more important to maintain and secure your data. Having the right software in place to protect your data is essential. However, hardware can still fail or become corrupted; computers can be stolen or lost. You can always download the same programs on a new computer, but the original data can never be recovered. Don’t allow that to happen to your business.

To ensure that your business in Monrovia always has access to its vital data, it’s important to have a data backup and recovery service on standby. Here at Tech Rockstars, we offer our impressive data backup services as part of our managed IT solutions.

Reasons Why Your Business Might Lose its Data

Thanks to larger and larger hard drives, disk drives, thumb drives, and cloud storage, many businesses feel a false sense of security about their data. With so many places to store data, the thinking goes, how could we ever lose it? The reality is, however, that it’s easier to lose data than many realize, and even in the most innocuous of everyday tasks in the office can result in major losses of data. So what are some of these reasons your business might lose its data?

Computer literacy is expanding significantly as more and more people work with computers on an everyday basis. But being technologically literate is far different from being fluent in technology. Many employees feel that they know more about their computer and its programs than they actually do. When an issue with their computer arises, some employees might choose to try and fix or adjust their computers without the assistance of an IT service. They’ll wade through the advanced settings, and update things that really shouldn’t be touched, like the BIOS. This sort of inept IT work can lead to numerous problems, including disastrous data loss.

Nearly everyone is familiar with the famous Nigerian prince email scam of the early 2000s. But in the time since then, scams, viruses, and other cybersecurity threats have become increasingly more convincing and nuanced. Despite awareness, training, and warnings about security breaches, some employees have a rather blase appreciation for IT security rules. Some might unknowingly click on a fake email message, or click on a targeted banner ad. The result is that hackers now have an avenue into your networks and data folders.

Similarly, some employees do not practice good password habits and use weak passwords like “12345” instead of a more complex password that makes use of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. These simple passwords can be hacked and discovered through brute-force attacks that quickly allow hackers access to all of their files and data. Random password generators and management systems can prevent these digital break-ins.

If the proper security protocols aren’t followed, and employees open their company’s data up to malicious actors, hackers can use harmful programs and ransomware to hold your data hostage. In these cases, the data can only be recovered if they pay a lump sum, or ransom, to the hacker in exchange for their data. But even playing the hackers game doesn’t guarantee the safe return of your data, as some delete the data even after receiving their payment. In some cases, they may choose to sell the data to another group instead, especially if it is valuable financial or personal information.

Viruses from online or internal sources can lead to corrupted files that can inhibit your business from running efficiently. These viruses can open your network security systems up to attack from other hackers, resulting in more frequent attacks and even more lost data.

Our storage devices and solutions are growing larger every year, allowing us to store more data and larger files. But that doesn’t mean they are a perfect system. It’s not uncommon for businesses and their employees to rely on just a few storage points for all of their data. But if these storage systems fail, all of their data is lost. Hard drives and solid-state drives can fail for any number of reasons. Mechanical errors, faulty flash memory, or even data writing errors can result in a wipe of all of a hard drive’s data in an instant. Similarly, storage devices are vulnerable to power supply failures, where it cannot draw enough power and fails to boot and load. In other cases, hardware failures can be caused by physical problems. Equipment is damaged by a stray cart, a plug is pulled by an errant foot, a clumsy client dumps coffee on their computer. While in many cases this data can be recovered, the business has suffered an impact on their productivity levels, their sales, and much more.

Arguably the most common reason businesses lose their data is because they simply don’t back it up. Data backup infrastructure, including both physical and cloud-based storage, is becoming less expensive all the time, so cost isn’t the issue. Instead, many businesses don’t realize that these options are even available to them. What they don’t know is costing them whenever their data is corrupted, lost, or stolen. In many cases, data backup can be an automated process as long as the business has the systems in place to do so.

Companies can also backup their data to the wrong places. With the ability to bring data with you via a thumb drive or laptop, some employees might save valuable files in their personal devices, rather than company-owned ones. The result is that when files are backed up, those files on personal devices go missing. Limiting the amount of places employees can store files, and instead offer them company held cloud or physical storage locations ensures that your data is backed up regularly.

Preventing Data Loss

With so many ways to lose data, or have it taken from your computer network, how can you prevent your business from losing data? There are several ways to store your data, but more important than how you choose to store your data is when you choose to back it up. It is imperative that you back up your data before any data loss occurs. Realizing that your data has been lost, stolen, or corrupted can be devastating, and can dramatically affect your business. You’ll want to conduct regular data backups and routinely checking the formatting of your files, and ensuring that you have enough space to store all of your data. Regular data backups can prevent downtime in your business.

Undoubtedly, one of the most effective ways is to back up your data on a regular basis. This ensures that there is at least one copy of the most important data your business needs to keep functioning properly. Even better is if you store your data backup at an off-site location. This minimizes the risk of your data being lost as a result of physical damage or theft.

An increasingly more popular storage option is cloud storage. This is effective because it stores your data offsite, and it is accessible through the internet. When it was first introduced, cloud storage was fairly limited in size, but in recent years has dramatically expanded, rivaling and even exceeding physical storage devices in terms of storage size. Because it is stored on the internet, the concern of losing data due to a device crashing is mitigated. The benefits of using cloud storage are becoming more apparent, and more small businesses are making use of a cloud data storage solution. Cloud storage may negate the risks of physical damage and theft, there is some concern that the data can be lost in the cloud itself. Your data could also be deleted or overwritten by accident, and possibly stolen by hackers.

Backing up your data to a cloud or physical storage device is a great way to keep your data safe. But you do more than just backing up your data to keep it protected and prevent lost work time.

  • Partitioning your hard drive is the process of creating separate program and data zones. So, if the program part of your hard drive crashes, you may still be able to recover your data from the other part of the hard drive.
  • Defragmenting your disk keeps your files arranged more efficiently to help prevent data loss. At the same time, it speeds up your computer by reducing processing time.
  • Control what your employees can access. Not every employee needs access to every file and program in your business. Make sure that there are security levels and clearances to access certain data sets. Also, make sure that each level of employee is trained on how to properly use, save, and back up their data.
  • Using an anti-virus software can keep help to prevent cyber attacks and viruses from infecting your computer network. You’ll want to use the most up-to-date anti-virus software.
  • Store your computers and storage solutions in a safe, cool, and dry location. You don’t want your servers, drives, or computers being moved around regularly, and you don’t want them to overheat.
