Media Failure
Removable Media is inherently risky as a primary storage
solution, and for many reasons. Due to the low cost and high production
quantities of the different media types and devices, some may have
shorter life spans than others. It is therefore really important for users to
understand the importance of storing sensitive, important and
confidential information safely and securely on the organization’s file
server or NAS device. This is so that in the event of media failure, loss,
theft or damage, then the data that is lost on the media is at least backed up
to another source.
