Data recovery in Arkansas

Arkansas's data loss reflects a state that is part Ozarks, part Delta, and part fast-growing corporate corridor. In Northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville and Springdale sit in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, home to the University of Arkansas, major retail, trucking, and food processing headquarters, and a large community of suppliers, analysts, and remote workers. Spreadsheets, sales data, and design files on laptops make up much of what fails there, along with student theses and research. The region's trails, museums, and arts scene also draw photographers and video makers who carry their work on portable drives.

Little Rock, the state capital, combines state government, healthcare, banking, and Little Rock Air Force Base nearby, while Fort Smith, on the Oklahoma border, has a long manufacturing history. Jonesboro anchors Northeast Arkansas with Arkansas State University and the rice, soybean, and cotton farms of the Delta. Poultry farms, timber operations, and small towns across the state often keep records on one office computer. ClearQuote serves every part of Arkansas by mail, with no office in the state.

What puts data at risk in Arkansas

Tornadoes are Arkansas's most frequent disaster. A March 2020 tornado struck Jonesboro, and on March 31, 2023, a powerful tornado tore through west Little Rock and North Little Rock. Severe spring storms also bring hail, damaging wind, and lightning that cause outages and surges. Keep desktops and NAS units on a UPS with surge protection on power and network lines, and keep a cloud or off-site backup in case your building is damaged. Never power on a device that came out of a damaged or flooded structure.

Flooding is the other major risk. In 2019 the Arkansas River reached record levels, flooding communities from Fort Smith downstream, and flash floods are common in the steep Ozark valleys. Northeast Arkansas sits near the New Madrid Seismic Zone, so strap down tall equipment. Winter ice storms can down lines for days, and summers are hot and humid, which is hard on electronics stored in poultry houses, barns, and shops. Keep drives off the floor, store them in air-conditioned rooms, and keep a second backup away from home.
