Dangers of No Offsite Backups• 90% of businesses that lose their data in a disaster are

out of business within two years.• Significant financial harm can arise from the loss of

customer records, accounts receivable information and other types of critical business data.

• There is a risk of litigation for maintaining poor appropriate controls when data loss happens.
