Businesses urged to backup due to network failures

11-07-2009

Companies have been called on to improve their data backup procedures after it was revealed that network failures can leave a business facing serious data losses.

Disk failure can cripple a business should important information contained on the drive prove to be unrecoverable, according to Network World.

Therefore, investing in complete data backup solutions - such as those offered by Vortex Backup - has been advised for businesses looking to improve long-term data security and recover more quickly in the event of a crisis.

"Sometimes it's heat, sometimes it's the age of the hard drives, but there's no way of preventing the drive from failing. That's why there is a redundancy in place to try and prevent it as much as possible," commented John Riddell, a Canada-based data backup manager.

In related news, Steve Burrows, IT director of Vanilla Group, recently told Computer Weekly that strong backup and recovery procedures can be the difference between success and failure in the event of a disaster and therefore firms should look to backup data every day.
