Fire
If a fire destroys your backups along
with the computer itself, you will have completely wasted every
dollar and every minute you ever spent on data backups up until
that point... period! Implement disaster prevention, not disaster
recovery.
When fire strikes, it can be quick, unexpected
and devastating to your business. If your backups are sitting right on top
of the very computer that it was meant to backup, more than likely they
will be destroyed with the computer itself.
Do not be fooled into thinking that the safe you bought
for less than $350 (nearly one year's worth of our
10 GB Server Backup)
is "media rated" and can protect your extremely heat sensitive magnetic backup
tapes or disks in the event of a fire. Most safes are rated for paper only and
although they will prevent the tape from actually burning... they
will not stop them from melting!
If your tapes melt with your computer, you will have
wasted every dollar and every minute you have ever spent
on data backups up until that point. Fires can also easily destroy the hard
copies of your data if they are at the same site, thus making re-creation of
data completely impossible. Once the data is both digitally and
physically gone... it is gone forever!
