Data recovery in North Carolina

North Carolina's data loss comes from a broad and fast-growing economy. Charlotte and Concord form one of the country's largest banking and financial centers, with motorsports and logistics nearby. Raleigh, Durham, and Cary anchor the Research Triangle, where universities, biotech, pharmaceutical, and tech employers generate research data and engineering files on laptops and lab workstations. Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point form the Piedmont Triad, with furniture, healthcare, and manufacturing, while Greenville is home to a large public university and medical school. Bank and fintech employees in Charlotte increasingly work from home on company laptops.

Toward the coast, Wilmington combines a port, film and television production, and a university, and Fayetteville is home to Fort Bragg, one of the largest military installations in the country. In the mountains, Asheville is known for tourism, craft industries, and small businesses, and much of the state between these cities is agricultural.

What puts data at risk in North Carolina

Hurricanes reach every part of North Carolina, not just the coast. Hurricane Florence in 2018 caused major flooding around Wilmington and across eastern North Carolina, and Hurricane Helene in September 2024 caused catastrophic flooding and landslides across the western mountains, including Asheville, with power, water, and communications out for weeks in some areas. Before a storm, back up to the cloud or to a drive you take with you, unplug desktops and NAS units, and move equipment off the floor. Never power on a device that has been underwater.

Away from hurricanes, the Piedmont sees ice storms in winter that coat trees and power lines and can cause multi-day outages, and spring and summer thunderstorms bring lightning and tornadoes across the state. Coastal humidity and salt air corrode electronics over time, especially in homes closed up for long periods. In the mountains, steep terrain and narrow valleys make flash flooding a recurring danger. Keep critical equipment on a UPS with surge protection on network lines, store drives in conditioned rooms, and keep an off-site backup somewhere outside your region.
