Most businesses that experience a major disaster will close down within one year of that disaster, in the USA nearly 50% of the companies that lose data in a disaster never reopen their doors again. It is therefore very important in these trying economic times that, in order to survive, you need to be better prepared than your competition, in order to survive.

A disaster can be defined as any event that will significantly impact the company’s operations, these can include the following:

- Natural or cataclysmic events (i.e. fire, flood, electrical storm);

- Human behaviour (i.e. arson, bomb threat, robbery)

- Technological breakdowns (i.e. power outage, server and hard drive crash).

No one is exempt from disaster, and most are ill prepared to should disaster strike.

The ideal solution would be to backup data, automatically, to a secure offsite server (preferably in a completely removed location). Businessrisk has identified such a solution based in the USA (details can be found on our Services  page.)
