Can
you afford to lose data should your computer
fail or it is stolen? You probably have data
that can be recovered from physical copies
or personal recollection, but what about the
files that can never be replaced, such as
financial data or pictures of your family?
There are many causes of the loss of data.
Fire, theft, hardware failure, human error,
etc.
Fire, theft, & hardware failure cannot
usually be predicted and with hardware
failure & fire, more than 90% of the time,
the data cannot be retrieved. In cases of
theft, it is very unlikely that the data
will be returned intact because if it is
located by Law Enforcement, it could be
years before you are given access to the
data again, due to evidence laws.
Backing up data to an
external drive or other computer on a weekly
or monthly basis reduces chances of data
failure. However, it is still likely that
data could be lost if both systems are
destroyed in the same fire, stolen by the
same thieves, or you simply forget to
perform your backup on a regular basis.
With Global Data Link's Offsite Data
Backups System (OBS), we can help ensure your data
is safe around the clock. Even if fire
damages your building, your computers are
stolen, your drives fail, or you forget
about your backups, OBS will have
automatically backed up your files off-site
on our servers. You could have your data
restored to your computer and be back online
within hours.

• 31% of PC users have lost all of their PC files to events beyond their control
• 25% of lost data is due to the failure of a portable drive
• 44% of data loss is caused by mechanical failures
• 15% or more of laptops are stolen or suffer hard drive failures

• 60% of all data is held on PC desktops and laptops
• 40-50% of all backups are not recoverable
• One-third of all computers sold are laptops
According to Harris Interactive, Inc:
• Nearly 3 out of 5 personal computer users have lost an electronic file they
thought they had sufficiently stored
• 1 in 4 users frequently back up digital files, even when 85% percent of
computer users say they are vey concerned about losing important data
• 37% of users admitted to backing up their files less than once per month
• 9% of users admitted to never backing up their files
• More than 22% of users said backing up files is on their to-do list, but they
seldom do it
