Skadoit Online Backup Solution

Every day many tens of thousands of people in the world experience that sinking feeling....

In your opinion, what is the single most catastrophic event which could occur to your business that would cripple it to the point of having to close your doors for good?

The answer For large percentage of businesses would be the information stored on their hard drives in the form of business contacts, Line-of-business applications, financial data, inventory, customer data, health records, employee data, etc. In today's digital age the list is endless. Depending on your line of business a majority of what is important to your business is stored electronically and the sudden loss of that information would cripple your company and even to the point you would have to shut your doors for good.

Having to close up shop for good happens to 95% of the businesses who suffer a catastrophic loss of data for more than 10 days. In most cases it's because a business didn't take the extra step or spend the extra money to prevent such a disaster.

Some of these companies relied on thumb drives or cds for backing up. And still others had tape backups, external hard drives, or other forms of media in place. but the safe removal of your data on a regular basis usually doesn't occur as often as it should. And in many cases it doesn't occur at all.

In fact all these conventional methods of backing up fail a business 76% of the time. Simply because of three overlooked reasons:

1. The backup isn't checked for reliability so when a failure occurs a recovery can't take place.
2. The backup isn't removed off site on a regular basis (daily is the optimal protection and continuous is an added bonus) thus certain failures would destroy both the existing data and the backup
3. The backup isn't performed as often as it should be.

It only takes once and it only takes a moment to lose what's important to your business.

Don't let the unexpected happen to you.

Everyday Risks

Every day across the world, hard drives fail, laptops are stolen, software malfunctions, busy people spill coffee and kids push the wrong button.

The leading cause of data loss is hardware failure, followed by human error and software corruption. Together, these three risk factors comprise more than 80% of all incidents.

Hardware failure - 40%
Human error - 29%
Software Corruption - 13%
Theft - 9%
Viruses - 6%
Natural Disaster - 3%

Real People, Real Quotes

"All my data was gone; I paid a fortune to try and retrieve it, to no avail."

"I lost six months of pictures of our kids."

"I had to reload more than 2,000 songs."

"It sets you back to ground zero when you lose your information. I use my laptop for work, so the things I lost were very important. The down time involved when getting my laptop fixed also crippled me when trying to work."

While data loss is devastating for individuals, the effects can be disastrous for small business owners; one study found that 60 percent of companies that lose their data and can not retrieve them will shut down within six months.

There's a Better Way

So what's the answer? Online backup addresses all five of the top barriers that prevent people from regularly backing up:

It automatically protects files so you don't forget.
Backups can be scheduled to occur whenever you want.
It saves time because you set it and forget it.
Set-up is easy, even for novice computer users, and can be completed in minutes.
No hardware is required, but larger files can still be backed up locally.

The only requirements for online backup are an Internet connection and a program installation. Skadoit uses software that encrypts your files and uses a highly secure transmission to eliminate privacy and security concerns.

Twenty percent of PC users have never backed up the data on their personal computers.
Just 6 percent back up daily.
Nearly half (46 percent) back up once a year or less - leaving 364 days of data susceptible to loss or damage.

Unfortunately, most people don't realize how important backup is until it's too late. And while an infected computer can be replaced, lost photos, records and documents are often unrecoverable.

Over 100 computer users lose data every minute!

Good news: 98 percent of PC users have antivirus protection on their primary computers, and 95 percent have firewall security. That means we're safe, right? Wrong.

Security against online threats are crucial, yet it leaves a gaping hole in our protective shields. What about all of the files stored on your computer? For most of us, our worlds are on our PCs, and we assume it's all safe simply because we clicked "save."

• Nearly 90 percent of Internet users would be "greatly inconvenienced" if they lost files on their computers - but only 6 percent protect them with a daily backup.
• Conservative estimates show that every day, 130,000 people in the United States lose files stored on their PCs. You can only imagine what that number is worldwide but could be in excess of 2 million people.

• One in five have lost files in the last two years alone.
• Lost photos are the number-one concern, followed by financial information, text documents and work projects.
