This we have also seen recently in the UK when major flood caused a major breakdown for various IT and non-IT companies to lost their data. Using backup software which is embedded in OS is a good idea when you are sure about your hardware. Major data lost occur due to hard disk failure or controller failure. In this case, you wont be able to retrive from your hard disk and basically you will lose all your data unless you have done offsite backup. <advert for company removed> Yes, you are right about business failure after a major disaster.

As Susanne Dansey recently observed on the UK SMB Girl blog, just talking about DR is enough to make most people’s eyes glaze over: “IT isn’t particularly exciting to those outside of our industry at the best of times, so talking about backing up, testing backups, disaster recovery, is about as interesting as talking about working out what is the best mortgage arrangement or savings account to go with; they’re all important but it’s not something we all enjoy dealing with.” [...] […] Disaster recovery might sound pretty exciting, but as we all know, it’s usually far from the Poseidon Adventure.
