Data loss is often fatal. One study showed that 60 percent of small and medium size businesses (SMBs) that lose their data will shut down within six months.

With natural disasters on the increase and ransomware running rampant, not to mention hardware failure (an estimated 20,000 hard drives fail in the US each day) and human error, a business continuity plan is more important than ever.

Unfortunately, more than half of SMBs aren’t prepared for data loss, and those that do backup their data have reservations about reliability and the time to recovery and productivity.
