CYA Technologies Available for Comment on The Risks of Data Loss: Lessons Learned from Business 2.0

(May 02, 2007)--Recent coverage in the New York Times reporting the failure of Business 2.0’s backup server and the subsequent loss of content and layouts for its June issue points to the need for organizations not only to perform regular backups, but also to ensure that they can recover quickly and easily from incidents of partial data loss without negatively impacting productivity. Had the magazine effectively prepared for partial data loss incidents when implementing its recovery strategy, it may have been able to quickly recover all the content and page layouts for its June issue in their original state, without any application downtime.

Wayne Crandall, CEO of CYA Technologies, a leading provider of recovery and replication software for enterprise content management (ECM) systems, is a data backup and recovery industry veteran available to speak on the importance of data backup, recovery management, disaster recovery and business continuity as it relates to structured information. Crandall can address points businesses should consider when developing and implementing a recovery strategy for mission critical information housed in ECM systems, including:

* Partial data loss caused by user and programmatic errors, malfeasance, viruses and corruption account for more than 80% of data loss* - can the business recover from these incidents without any ECM system downtime and loss of productivity?
* Can content and its associated metadata (audit trails, workflows, renditions, etc.) be recovered easily at the object level, in its original state?
* What is an organization’s level of tolerance for data loss – its Recovery Time Objective – and how can it ensure that it meets this objective in order to prevent financial loss to the business?
* How can the recovery strategy help the organization comply with regulations regarding the preservation and recoverability of structured information as mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley, the SEC, HIPAA, COOP, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and others?
