Imation surveyed more than 200 IT directors and network storage managers of small to mid-sized companies on their perceptions of data backup, disaster recovery and storage practices and challenges. Clearly, small-to-medium businesses have become more proactive in protecting their digital assets. While 71% of companies surveyed have a disaster recovery plan in place, the testing of those plans after updates is still not a universal practice - leaving companies vulnerable to significant data loss. In fact, 40% of companies don't test their disaster recovery plan after each update; and, 28% percent of companies admit they take a wait-and-see approach and test disaster recovery processes and people only "After a problem" occurs or "Never".
