IT Pros Admission poor data protection practices -
If a recent poll is any indication, the pros of the channel could be the poster children for bad practices backup and disaster recovery.
has re AWS: Invent conference in Las Vegas this past November, CloudBerry Lab, a backup service provider and SMB cloud file management in Aliso Viejo, California, collected answers to questions about the backup of digital data. and recovery of 100 IT professionals, including developers, architects, and technical decision makers. And its conclusions are not what you might expect.
In the survey, 88 percent of participants admitted they had lost customer data or company because of a hardware failure, data corruption, malware, or accidental deletion of a file. 
Even more surprising is that despite the high incidence of data loss, 38 percent of respondents have never tested the recoverability of their data backed up, and 47 percent expect up to a month or longer to perform a backup. If that was not enough, 32 percent, knowing their data is not secured by encryption or passwords, or they do not know if their backups are protected or not.
The survey sample was small, and CloudBerry Lab is a cloud backup provider, so these figures should be taken with a large pinch of salt. But if the shock value of the answers you shoot to recheck the safety and recoverability of your data or your customers, the survey you've done a service by highlighting the critical nature of data protection.
