More than 40% of Czech businesses need to recover data within 4 hours of a potential loss. 24/11/2016 · 3 min read · ZEBR.ai editorial team *Acronis: upfront costs and recovery speed are key attributes of backup solutions for Czech businesses*\ **More than 40% of Czech businesses need to recover data within 4 hours of a potential loss** **Prague, November 24, 2016** – [**Acronis**](http://www.acronis.cz/), a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection solutions, has published the results of a **local survey on data backup among Czech businesses**, conducted at its recent Acronis Roadshow user conference in Prague. According to the survey, the most important attributes for Czech companies are solution costs and recovery speed, while backup location is not a major concern. Recovery speed is directly related to the maximum time within which businesses must recover lost data in order to avoid serious consequences for their operations. More than 40% of respondents set this time at 4 hours, while as many as 94% of companies need to resolve the lack of data unconditionally within one day. The most common cause of data loss in companies is carelessness by their own users. Key survey findings: - When deciding on a data backup solution, 30% of Czech businesses consider upfront costs the most important factor, 19% recovery speed, 18% operating costs, 13% supported platforms, and 12% technical support. Only 8% address backup location. - To avoid serious consequences for its operations, a company must recover its lost data within 30 minutes (10% of respondents), within 1 hour (27%), within 4 hours (42%), and within 1 day (94%). - The main causes of data loss in companies are carelessness by their own users (70%), hardware failure (54%), malware/ransomware attacks (34%), and device theft (23%); natural disasters account for only 4% of cases. - Czech businesses most commonly back up physical servers (67%), workstations (54%), VMware virtualization (33%), and Hyper-V virtualization (28%). “Increasingly demanding market requirements for shorter delivery times of products and services can put companies in an impossible situation if they lose their data, even temporarily,” said **Zdeněk Bínek, responsible for sales of Acronis solutions in the Czech and Slovak markets**. “That is why, when selecting a backup solution today, it is important to ask not only about the total cost of ownership, but also about recovery speed. And that is precisely why, in the latest version of its backup products, Acronis has focused on further increasing speed, so that, for example, Acronis Backup 12 is now 60–100% faster in data backup and recovery than its closest competitor, according to [independent measurements by Network Testing Labs](http://www.networktestinglabs.com/Acronis-Backup-vs-Veeam.html).” Article author: ZEBR.ai editorial team Read on ## More related articles [All articles](https://zebr.ai/en/blog) Contact ## Do you need a solution for yourself or for your client?
