For Immediate Release

Death of a Hard Drive

A Boston-based software development company experienced a series of unfortunate events that caused the company to lose a substantial amount of data. However, thanks to one savvy developer, they were able to recover over two months worth of data that was lost due to a hard drive failure.

You insure your car, your house, even your pet. These measures are taken to protect your valuables from disaster. With data, not only do you have to have it insured (backed up using tapes, hard drives, cloud servers, etc), but you also need to have a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan in place that has been tested for reliability to assist your organization should a disaster occur.

Backup Disaster Recovery

As we enter the month of August, we are also entering the height of hurricane season. Albeit hurricane preparation may not be on the average IT professional’s to-do list, BUT it is important to note that data loss can be caused by natural occurring events such as flood, fire, storms, earthquakes and power surges.  And as all of us know snow after this year.
