Data loss is a major inconvenience that disrupts the day-to-day function of any business. The most common causes of data loss of what we heard from our customers are “Human Error”.
What is the Most Common Cause?
For businesses, human error is the leading cause of data loss. In fact, there are not as many security breaches, hardware failures, or data corruption as everyone imagined, and in most cases, employees have made mistakes in their work in some way. For instance, unintentional deletion of data files made by employees can overwrite important files or delete information that is critical to your business without realizing it.
There was one thing that happened to one of our customers recently, he accidentally deleted a primary database when he attempted to replicate the primary to the secondary location, so a huge amount of data was lost. Apparently, there are many such stories, but is it possible to reduce the chance of data loss with training? Yes, it is, but may not be completely avoided, as we cannot root out human error, so automatic backups could be a simpler way to reduce worry.
