 Computer Crash Photo by Adam Crowley/Getty Images This Sunday, November 4th is the time to move your clocks back for daylight savings time but even more critical for your small business is "Maxell Fall Backup Day" on Friday, November 2nd. Gartner Research estimates 40 percent of businesses that suffer an interruption of their operations will fail within five years. Losing critical computer data in today's Internet Age can wipe out any small business making data backup an essential operational task. In order to create more awareness, Maxell, the makers of storage media are reminding business owners to back up their systems and key data. “Most businesses today are heavily dependent on information that is crucial to daily operations, making data management no longer just an extra precaution for businesses that can afford to do it,” said Al Dripchak, technical manager of Maxell.
