I have lost 2 hard drives in my life and I am still not sure I am over them, anyway.

Back Up Your Data!!!

Maxell is launching an annual initiative aimed at preventing critical data loss. Maxell Fall Back-Up Day coincides with Daylight Saving Time as a reminder of the importance of backing up all critical files. This year Maxell Fall Back-Up Day occurs on Friday, October 27

"Businesses run on information, and when that information is lost or access is interrupted, the impact can be insurmountable," said Al Dripchak, technical manager for Maxell. "The loss of critical data, like customer orders and account receivables, can hurt financially and operationally. Today's technology and resources simplify the everyday backup process so it's not a drain on time or resources and companies are confident that their business-critical data is always fully protected."

According to Gartner, 40 percent of businesses that suffer an interruption to their operations fail within five years. Small and mid-size businesses are very vulnerable to data loss because they typically do not have staff or resources dedicated to managing data backup and recovery.
