Sick and tired of losing your computer and cell phone data?

As you know, I get pinged all the time by vendors who would like to share helpful tools and products that will make your blogging easier.

My friend Rob at DrivePop is a kind sponsor of this newsletter and his company is having a cloud storage fathers day sale.

Because losing your files is way more common than you’d think, you should probably have a backup solution. Better yet, a cloud based backup solution.

One like DrivePop.

Some interesting stats:

6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year. Given the number of PCs used in US businesses in 1998, that translates to approximately 4.6 million data loss episodes. At a conservative estimate, data loss cost US businesses $11.8 billion in 1998. (The Cost Of Lost Data, David M. Smith)
30% of all businesses that have a major fire go out of business within a year. 70% fail within five years. (Home Office Computing Magazine)
31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.
34% of companies fail to test their tape backups, and of those that do, 77% have found tape back-up failures.
60% of companies that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.
93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed

for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy immediately. (National Archives & Records Administration in Washington)
American business lost more than $7.6 billion as a result of viruses during first six months of 1999. (Research by Computer Economics)

Every week 140,000 hard drives crash in the United States. (Mozy Online Backup) – Simple drive recovery can cost upwards of $7,500 and success is not guaranteed.

Ever lost your phone, camera or tablet? That counts. Your stuff could have been saved with a backup. One small accident or failure could destroy all the important stuff you care about.
