Imagine one day you discover that all of your valuable data has been lost? Imagine the consequences of losing confidential information that is essential for you e.g. your business contacts, financial records, sale records and important business documents. Think how long would it take to re-compile your data? I am sure you get the picture and would like to block unauthorized access to your data.
