What would you do if you lost your business or personal data?

From Fast-teks Area Director Terry Anderson:

More frequently, we rely on our computers to store essential information about our lives and our businesses. We expect the data (information) to be there whenever we need it without making sure it is backed up.  Sometimes we may put the data on CD's which is a start but then we have to manage multiple discs and hope we can find them when we need them and that they haven't been damaged too.
Here are the 5 main reasons for online automated data backup:

 1. The cost of forensic data recovery (getting the information out of crashed or destroyed internal or external hard drive) can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars and take 10 business days or more to get your data back.
 2. The forensic data recovery costs do not include technician service fees to remove the hard drive and prepare it for shipping or the cost of actually replacing the hard drive and replacing the data if it is recoverable.
3. The cost of lost productivity may be measured in days, weeks and months.
 4. Sometimes the data can NEVER be recovered. Some businesses that lose their data never recover from the data loss and go out of business.
 5. The HIPPA compliant Fast-teks online data backup solution is securely encrypted and redundant with your data being stored in two secure sites.
