Data Storage, Backup in the Cloud

Losing data can not only be detrimental to a small business, it could even put it out of business altogether notes Fox Business. In spite of this knowledge, small businesses are still losing significant amounts of data each day to hardware and software failure and accidental deletion. In fact, Carbonite’s recent survey of U.S. small businesses with two to 20 employees found that 48 percent have experienced a data loss this year. This article highlights the value of data storage and data backup in the cloud.

"’Even despite using some form of physical backup almost half of American small businesses have experience some data loss,’ says Peter amson, general manager of small business for Carbonite. Lamson listed a variety of reasons for the data losses including hardware failures and computer viruses.’”
