It's your loss if you don't!

To our advantage as well as our chagrin, modern technologies allow us the ability to conveniently manage both our personal lives and business endeavors through the use of computers and mobile devices.

While the advantages afforded us in modernity are virtually limitless, such capabilities have placed us at far greater risk for catastrophic loss.

Gone are the days when protecting yourself and your business involved burying a cache of shiny rocks a little deeper than the other guy or deftly sneaking up behind someone copying your cave paintings and bopping him on the head with a club.

In bygone days, if your home burned down, you lost all of your personal items and photos.

In the modern world, with or without the aid of natural disasters, all it takes for you to lose all of your precious photos and files is for your computer hard drive to die.

Anyone familiar with the law of averages knows that the more computers you have, the more likely you are to experience a hard drive failure.

“Death, taxes, and hard drive failure” --Uttered by Steve Grovenor when discussing life’s certainties.

Faced with the probabilities, businesses and individuals alike are confronted with a choice:

1. Act naturally and assume that such losses only happen to “the other guy.”
2. Acknowledge that what you cannot unfailingly protect, you must insure by backing up your data.

In our next installment, we share some of our experiences with drive failures and some ways to eliminate, or at the very least, mitigate your risk.
