One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone who is considered an expert in their field makes up a statistic on the spot, and because he is an “expert”, it is presumed to be fact. The fact is that the statistic was made up on the spot and therefore not factual. Some of you may have heard the statistic that says that 80-93% of companies close doors 2 years following catastrophic data loss. That might scare you into buying a more expensive box with lights on it, but what should actually determine whether or not you need to fork over more dough for a better backup solution are a few simple questions, and not a made up statistic.
