Data loss can happen in many different ways. Just because you’ve been lucky enough to avoid a huge loss of information doesn’t mean that your luck will hold.

The most common causes are an accidental error, employee or competitor theft, or physical failure to computers. They also include disasters like floods, fires, or even a spilled cup of coffee.

Unfortunately, some business owners are still saving important data in one place and not paying attention to the 3-2-1 backup rule. Maybe they save it all on the hard drive of their desktop or laptop computer.
