Human error to blame for most data disasters
Human error is responsible for an increasing number of incoming enterprise data recovery requests, data recovery firm Knoll Ontrack has revealed.
Research conducted by Ontrack® data recovery experts found that human error is often the cause of most security glitches and data loss. The most common human error cases indentified include: putting the wrong drive in, reformatting a disk incorrectly, restoring corrupt/old backup data, rebuilding a bad array and deleting data.
According to Adam Briscoe, general manager for APAC, Kroll Ontrack, many information technology systems are quite complex and require a steep learning curve.
“While advanced storage options such as virtualisation and cloud computing offer corporations storage optimisation, human processes are still at the root of these solutions, instructing the technology as to how to perform,” he said.
