WHAT WILL LOST DATA COST YOU ?

To answer this question, you need to consider what kind of data you are backing up. Do you use manual accounting methods or are your company's financial records stored in some accounting software somewhere?

When a customer calls in and orders something, do you jot that down on a carbon-copied order form or do you enter it in some sort of order processing program? What about things like budgets, memoranda, inventories, and any other "paperwork" that you throw around from day to day?

Do you keep copies of every important memo that you send, or do you depend on the computer for that? If you're like most people, you have grown quite dependent on these things we call computers. You forget how much of your work has been saved in the form of little magnetized bits spread out across a bunch of spinning platters. Maybe you work in an environment in which you've never lost a disk, so you've never had to do a restore. Maybe you've never fat-fingered a key and deleted an important file. If that's the case,

So what would you lose if you lost data? To quantify this, we need to examine the types of information that may reside in your environment and what would happen if you lost each type of information. Most of what you could lose is very tangible and quantifiable in monetary term sand it might surprise you.

* Lost customers

This is quite possibly the most tangible and most devastating of all losses. If your entire customer database is on a computer somewhere, how will you know who they are if that computer dies? You might actually "lose" your customers and never find them again. You could also lose customers who depend on data that is on one or more of your computers; if the customer finds out that you have lost his data, he will undoubtedly be less than impressed with you. The degree to which this data loss affects him may not even be relevant to him; he knows that you lost his data, and he might leave just because he no longer feels your company is competent.

* Morale

Think about how you would feel if you were one of the salespeople whose orders were lost. You spent days or weeks working on sales, and now they're gone forever. Maybe you should go somewhere where your hard work doesn't go to waste. The better the salesperson, the better the chance that she may jump ship if you lose her sales. What about the average employee? If your computers have a reputation for going down and a reputation for losing data, it gives the employees a feeling of helplessness. Maybe they should go somewhere where they have the proper equipment to do their jobs.
