A recent study discovered that, of companies experiencing a "major loss" of computer
records, 43 percent never reopened, 51 percent closed within two years of the loss, and a mere 6 percent survived over the long-term. These statistics highlight the necessity of crafting a Business Continuity Planning (BCP) strategy grounded in a robust data backup and recovery solution.
