18% of South African’s have lost copies of their backed up data. Don’t be part of this statistic!

According to Kapersky Lab and B2B International, as much as 18% of South African’s have lost data that they have stored to physical media. This includes flash drives, hard drives, DVDs, CDs and similar. Are you still backing up your important data to physical media devices? You could become part of this statistic!

This shocking statistic was revealed in a survey carried out by the 2 companies and they certainly weren’t the only statistics. Below are some more stats that might interest you:
•96% of participants said that they stored their personal photos, documents and passwords on their actual devices.
•Only one third of the participants said that they ever considered making backups of their data in the event of potential loss.
•26% of the participants have not taken any security measures to protect their data.
•5% of participants stated that they had no intention of making security backups in the future either!
•Only 11% of participants actually make use of cloud backup services.
•18% of participants have lost data due to device malfunction, theft and loss.

The findings of this survey are certainly interesting. How do you currently backup your data? If you use a physical storage device, are you ever afraid that this device might malfunction, break or be stolen or lost? While backing up data might seem like a redundant “schlep”, it really doesn’t have to be. With modern cloud backup services you can set everything up to automatically backup your designated files, folders and documents regularly. You don’t even need to action the backup yourself. Just ensure that your computers are logged in and online. That’s it.
