DATA LOSS (Case Studies)

In the field of information

technology, data loss refers
to the unforeseen loss of
data or information. An
occurrence of data loss can
be called a Data Loss Event
and there are several
possible root causes. Backup
and recovery schemes are
developed to restore lost
data.

Data loss must be

distinguished from data
unavailability, such as may
arise from a network outage.
Although the two have
substantially similar effects,
data unavailability is
temporary while data loss is
permanent. Data loss is also
distinct from data spill,
although the term "data loss"
has been sometimes used in
those incidents. Data loss
incidents can, however, be
also data spill incidents, in
case media containing
sensitive information is lost
and subsequently acquired
by another party. However,
data spills are possible
without the data being lost in
the originating side.
