A few weeks ago we received a call from a local business
owner informing us that his building had a fire due to a lightning storm and he was afraid that his server
had been damaged from the heat and smoke.
We visited the location and unfortunately there was the overheated server with
all of the companies critical data sitting on it and the owner desperate to
determine if it could be saved.
Once
back in the office and after running several diagnostics and transferring what
we could - we were able to salvage the damaged hard drive. However, in many
cases when heat, smoke and water damage a hard drive it is very difficult to
restore.
This is a very sensitive mechanism and with such highly
critical data we can't
stress enough how important it is for every business owner to take a look at their back
up devices and ask themselves ... What
would happen if there was a fire, or roof leak, flood or even theft. Could we
recover? Are our files stored "off location" so that we can easily
retrieve them and get back to business?
If you would like to
know more about protecting your data from damage with offsite data replication,
virtual servers and cloud storage solutions ... contact TaylorWorks. We will
provide you with a free consultation and prepare the best disaster recovery solution
