Loss of computer data
A loss of computer data can quickly turn into a nightmare in your business.
Sensitive or confidential data, some are irreplaceable and it is not pleasant to have to start a job done or to go in search of essential data that would have been deleted.
Loss of data,in addition to wasting time, can actually be a hindrance to your daily work and its repercussions are heavy.

The causes of data loss
Human error:
The most common cause in data loss: human error. We are not infallible and therefore not immune tomishandling that would jeopardize our company’s data.
Through accidental file deletion, a backup crash or involuntaryformatting,we can find ourselves facing a critical situation and the loss of important data. Moreover, in companies where staff have access to this data, the risk is even greater because the number of people who can make a mistake is even greater.
Computer hacking:
Companies now face a major challenge to its computer data: the risks of hacking.
Although the market currently offers many techniques to counter viruses or malware,no company is immune to the risk of data loss, including confidential data.
An accident:
By accident we group material accidents such as equipment falls, fires or floods, as well as accidents of computer failures: crashes, breakdowns etc.
The process of retrieving data then becomes complicated or impossible for an in-house company. It will be necessary to call on a specialized company, for example for the opening of the hard drive of a computer.
The aging of computer hardware:
For this last point, only an anticipation in updating its computer hardware can counter a potential data loss.
Veteran, obsolescence or lack of updates can result in data loss. And when you want to evolve your computer hardware and you have to go through steps of transferring business data, again, technical problems or human errors can arise.
