Iliya questions: Can this terrible incident be avoided? Technicians, engineers, the police, and major officials were interviewed to investigate this question. After several days of discussions, however, no consensus was reached to why this occurred. Some politicians claim the damage could have been reduced if more monies had been provided for disaster preparedness ahead of time.
Iliya has more astonishing news. At least nine or more robberies have been counted since and it appears the financial harm of this disaster will be continuing to grow for a while.
Seana Atkins who moved from Garland town, NC commented: "Our company lost at least 7 million dollars worth of data and tools." Another witness, Johathan Carr originally from Inverness CDP, CA noted "I don't believe it. We lost everything. Our customer data took so long to set up, now it's all destroyed". Paidyn, a lead investigator added: "It will definitely take a year for the community to recover"
The loss of information can be a seriously expensive event for any business. When businesses can't locate their data they basically lose their lifeblood. Imagine the effort involved in recreating all the files lost in addition to the labor required to determine what has actually been lost. It is estimated that over the year each work area loses over $6,000 worth of data. Typical causes include theft, break-ins, employee theft, PC damage, and natural disasters. Power failures, software, and hardware crashes can also lead to data corruption. Accidental deletions are also quite common because even if a backup exists, it goes unnoticed for quite some time. The backup history length used by most teams is rarely long enough to cover for all eventualities as backup space after all is a cost factor and involves managerial labor, too. In a large business it is not uncommon to employ an entire division of people who manage tape libraries on a daily basis.
Computers are quite delicate. A little humidity can cause serious data loss quickly to the point of total breakdown. Most people don't know that entering and leaving an air conditioned area in winter or humid summer weather may in fact damage their electronic devices. Condensation can form very quickly on cold surfaces and form droplets. The accumulated moisture can then penetrate into hard disks and processors and other components were it remains locked forever until enough of it causes a short. Mechanic shock is another example and common cause of disaster. Hard drives in particular are very sensitive to shock; hence, a drop from a couple of feet high will usually cause a head crash and destroy all files on the drive. Magnetic fields are becoming less of a problem since flat screen TVs took over. Yet, magnetic interferences are still an issue, such as those generated by motors and microwave ovens. Again hard drives and their magnetic interiors are most susceptible to magnets because the interference can affect their sensitive magnetic layers.
Cantrall village, IL, according to Iliya, where a recent study was conducted, appears to be a city with experienced data experts. Jafar Lam comments: "We copy our files several times an hour. This strategy has saved us many times from potentially expensive disasters." Jyrin Medina adds: "We now use VMware and virtualized our servers in all locations. Because we had too many data loss events in the past, we decided to copy our machines to several branch offices. " Ilena Contreras has another interesting idea: "Perhaps a lot of data we have isn't worth backing up forever. Every piece of information has a lifespan after which it is no longer interesting."
Cloud backup data replication is an important part in all data centric businesses because it protects from damage. Backup software solutions are the important technologies necessary for institutions to protect their vital data. Computer backup has been adapted by most experienced businesses since the beginning of the PC era. The challenge with backups is that files may need to be backed up while the employee is working; hence, the VM backup solution needs to impact the system a little, yet provide satisfying performance. Furthermore, the software needs to repeat this process routinely.
Dashae Chapman correctly maintained in the famous publication that data losses are part of life and need to be managed for. With the advent of virtualization and advanced backup tools these events are now less of a risk; however, a lot of businesses are not well prepared. High-tech methods have been proposed by various experts for virtual machine, virtualization, and Windows and should be presented to company managers as feasible options to consider.
