Nearly a third of organisations have lost data as a result of a data centre outage in the past year, while more than 42 per cent said they had experienced a period of downtime.
According to a new survey conducted by Unitrends more than half of the respondents said they had to recover at least some of their data from the cloud at least once last year, while 11 per cent in total had to recover data from the cloud five times or more. Surprisingly, however, more than half of respondents said they tested their data recovery capabilities once a year or less.
Vice president of product management, Unitrends and Spanning Joe Noonan said: “It is concerning that most enterprises don’t really know for sure if they can recover their applications after a downtime event as they test rarely or not at all. The need to continuously test recovery tools is critical to ensuring speedy business restoration.”
