If your business is mostly reliant on computers for sales, financial and operational information, lost productivity can be only a part of lost profits, when it comes to a disaster without a data recovery program. For those that use traditional methods, such as backup tape storage and external hard drives, they may find that the backups are not their complete database. Since the only time they are ever tested or needed is after a disaster such as a system crash, fire or flood occurs, that is not the time to find out they are ineffective.

Your IT business can be substantial, if you have capitalized on Internet sales and when a system crashes, it can put you out of business temporarily. Other businesses that have remote salespeople that have customer and client information, sales orders and other information that can be hard to rebuild is another problem, for many businesses. You need a data recovery program that will backup all of your databases, including remote ones.
