Question(s): How frequently would you say your company experiences total or partial hard drive crashes ("total melt downs") of a PC? What would you say is the most common reason for these data losses?

Analysis: While many believe that actual experience with data loss is a major cause for backup, nevertheless, the concern about data loss certainly is the primary reason for backing up important data.
