So when this nightmare happens and your hard drive is clearly damaged, people pick up the phone and call data recovery firms, which have the necessary equipment and lab infrastructure to do the required job. According to Imation's Small Business Survey Special Report conducted in April 2003.

30 percent of small businesses admit they have no formal data backup and storage procedures, or do not implement their procedures consistently.

"Fifty-five percent of small businesses rated themselves as "fair" or "poor" in terms of having a documented recover data after factory reset samsung plan, or do not have one at all."

"Review and evaluation of data backup and storage procedures is not a common practice among small businesses."

"The majority of small companies" backup critical data on a daily basis and daily backups are more common among companies that deal with higher volumes of data. But one in three small businesses still wait until there is a problem before reviewing and evaluating their backup and storage procedures."
