This document discusses the importance of protecting organizational data and providing backups. It notes that 43% of companies that experience a major data loss never reopen, and 51% close within two years. Most organizations do not have formal data backup policies. For small and medium businesses, data is often backed up manually through copy and paste to external drives or tapes. There are challenges with this approach around usability, managing large amounts of data, deployment flexibility, and security. The document advocates for establishing appropriate backup policies and procedures to safeguard organizational data from hardware failures, viruses, theft or accidental deletion.
