Question

Ib describe why data loss is a more serious problem than the loss of software or hardware for a sales company.

Answer 1

Data loss means you lost the data and it cannot be recovered by any means.

FOR EXAMPLE : You have a video file when it is stored in your computer it is stored in the formed of bits i.e 0 and 1.

Now you send this file to another computer connected online. While sending either TCP/IP or data transmission algorithm can be used. This algorithm defines how to send data.

Consider original video file is avenger. Mp4 and it stored in binary and it is 0101011100

Now you send this to another computer and computer received

01010111.

Note : here last two bits 00 are lost and now you cannot recover unit unless there is no error handling algorithm.

So data won't be consistent

While loss of software and hardware can be recovered using image and backup copy. Now a days we are storing data on cloud.
