Data loss is real. All you have to do is talk to those who have experienced it. Some of their stories sound like they were baked up in a Hollywood studio.
Like the one about an international business traveler whose laptop was stolen in Spain, tracked down in the Cayman islands, and remotely wiped before the data could be accessed, all while the original data was restored to another device by the time the businessman landed in San Francisco for a big presentation.
Then there’s the one about the business owner whose servers were swamped in four feet of water after Hurricane Laura demolished large parts of Louisiana. What could have been a catastrophic data loss scenario wound up being much less thanks to the backup he kept on a thumb drive.
And would you believe that a disgruntled employee would delete several SharePoint sites belonging to an educational institution as a parting gift prior to being laid off? It’s true, and it could have been catastrophic if not for the timely intervention of a disaster recovery hero – and, of course, the strategic implementation of backup.
