Why back up is important?

In any office the most important thing is INFORMATION. All our data, files, print outs, etc contain information that can be used to take decisions in any given condition or scenario. Large organisations such as banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, etc. interact with large number of people and store intricate information about people such as their financial information which can be crucial to there life. Another example is of large portals which keep the personal information of people stored within their databases.

Think of a scenario when suddenly due to natural calamity or fire the data gets deleted, burnt, destroyed or stolen. The people would blame the banks, insurance companies, mutual funds & portals for negligence & irresponsible behaviour.

To escape from such circumstances large organisations don't store data at just one place. They don't just store the crucial information at multiple locations but also at multiple cities or countries which enables them to keep the data safe & secure from such natural calamities or disaster.

The (crucial) data must always be stored safely & securely at multiple locations.
