Ninety-two percent of SMB executives said they believe their businesses are prepared to recover from a disaster.

"That data suggests that there are either varying definitions of what it means to be able to recover from a disaster or, quite simply, a lack of understanding of what it truly means to be able to recover from a disaster. Make no mistake, if a business does not have a disaster recovery solution in place, or at the very least a solution to back up its data, there is no way it can get the data back from a data loss event."

"The fact that 58% of the survey group said disaster recovery means getting data back after a loss, yet one in five say they don't have a solution in place to do this, and most SMBs still believe they are prepared to recover for a disaster does not add up," said Reeder.

56% of SMBs in the accounting/finance/banking sector defined disaster recovery as the ability to recover from a natural disaster like a hurricane or tornado.

"SMBs also can get ahead of an anticipated disaster such as a hurricane by failing over to their disaster recovery solution before the disaster is expected to hit, completely mitigating any downtime."
