Dakota Backup: Data loss can be your worst nightmare without proper cloud backup solution in place

June 15, 2012 - PRLog -- RAPID CITY, S.D. – Imagine this scenario. You’re at the airport waiting to board your flight when you leave your laptop to quickly grab a soda from the nearby vending machine.
You return to find your laptop missing. You had only turned your back for a split second, but the chair you had rested it on is empty. You turn your head from side to side, scanning the room for the thief. Your laptop is nowhere to seen.

Your head spins as you contemplate a myriad of scenarios. Not only is your personal information exposed to the world, but your small cupcake business is also in jeopardy. All your computer files containing your business’ books and financial figures have vanished.
You begin to panic, as you realize your laptop represents the essence of your business; all its nuts and bolts are stored in the memory of a machine weighing less than two pounds.
Now imagine this scenario. Your legal firm is located in a new development in town. The newly constructed office buildings and homes are situated at the bottom of a hilly range, blanketed in Ponderosa pine trees and dotted with hike and bike trails.

Then, the unexpected happens. Because of countless numbers of hot, dry days, an accidental fire starts – a fire that rages out of control despite the efforts of firefighters. Your building catches fire – and burns to the ground. All your office computers and data files burn to the ground with it.

These two scenarios are both very real disasters that could happen to anyone. They could be devastating for your business’ livelihood unless your data has been properly backed up.
