Causes of Downtime and Data Loss Major cause of downtime - lightening

There are numerous surveys of causes of downtime and data loss.  Here are two.  Our own opinion is that human error tends to be underreported and hence understated.  We believe that more effort should be made to prevention of human errors.  These involve training, process, and backup.  Checklists are useful in understanding and modeling your downtime.

When it comes to data loss, the large hardware component should be addressed immediately as part of an upgrade program, since it is easy and cheap to reduce this cause of data loss significantly.  (The number here is large since most businesses are careless and too trusting of their non-redundant hardware.)
