the loss of data ranks as the greatest fear of most computer users and organizations alike, and
it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. Recovery, if possible at all, can cost
precious time and money.

The High Cost of Lost Data
Data loss can be very expensive. For businesses, lost data is not only costly in dollars,
downtime, and productivity, but also in terms of survival. According to the National Archives
and Records Administration in Washington, D.C., 93% of companies that lose their data for
10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of
businesses that found themselves without data for this same time period filed for bankruptcy
immediately.

For avocational computer users, lost data can make files irretrievably ruined. This means all
the personal finances, tax information, MP3s, digital photos, and address book information
that took months, and even years, to compile are all just a fading memory.
