Explanation:

victim to power problems, human error, virus attack &
logical errors resulting in data loss.

of data loss cannot be prevented by RAID
Mirrored Systems
- Mirrored systems
are helpless in restoring data in case of all kinds of
logical
Problems and natural disasters.
Backup and Restoration
- Backups are often
found to be inconsistent ,incomplete and corrupt .

Business Standards
(Aug- Sep 2001)
a BSI Magazine
“If
an organization is fortunate enough
to survive a disaster without a plan
for recovery, it will not survive
Undamaged.
Aside from the direct revenue losses
incurred during a failure, the organization
will also suffer Intangible costs
such as cash flow interruptions, loss
of customers, loss of competitive
edge, erosion of industry Image, and
reduced market share.”

If investments were made in technologies,
which can reduce the possibility of
data loss, firms may be able to reduce
their costs & increase profits.
If a manager does not invest in such
technologies, their businesses may
be subject to significant risk, since
the cost of some data loss episodes
are very high.
