Then, for small businesses, I have heard of stories where the CCTV footage was deleted or overwritten the next morning after they had been broken into. A lost document here, a missing picture there data can sometimes accidentally disappear and paying for it to be recovered can become very costly. Nearly every day I see where people have joined an online technical support forum to ask how they can recover a lost file. Working one day does not mean it will work the next. Hard drives and solid state drives easily fail and can do so without any warning. That doesn’t mean we should be so careless in backing up our most important data. However, with the high cost of a DR site, it’s out of most consumers’ reach as well as small businesses.

A DR site allows a business to restore business functionality in a matter of hours rather than weeks if something were to happen to their primary systems. Most businesses will typically have a Data Recovery (DR) site in some large data center outside and away from their normal operations. There are limitless items that can be stored digitally, so why are we so careless at how we store them? People can snap a thousand photos within minutes and share them with another person halfway across the world one single email can get you to a customer service agent, or a document can contain all of your personal notes from a work event. We’ve become so reliant on our digital lives that it would be near impossible to continue everyday life without it.

In today’s world, we’ve heavily transitioned from physical documents to electronic ones that are stored on electronic media.
