How important is it to have reliable backups? The truth is that all computer hardware will fail given enough time, and chief among the parts that will fail first is the hard drive. On that hard drive is information that could represent untold time, money and resources for your company, and if you don’t have a proper data backup procedure, it is just a matter of time before you lose it.

While manufacturers of hard drives claim anywhere up to 35 years as the mean time between failures, the real world data says that these numbers are generous at best. In 2007 Google released an internal study where they calculated their own fail rates in their massive data farms of thousands of drives. They found that hard drive fail rates per year “…varies from 1.7%, for drives that were in their first year of operation, to over 8.6%, observed in the 3-year old population.” That means every year, you could be looking at anything up to an 8.6% chance that your hard drive will fail and your data will be destroyed.
