*’data loss’ is an ‘error condition’ in ‘information systems’ in which information is destroyed by ‘failures’ or ‘neglect’ in [‘storage’ / ‘transmission’ / ‘processing’]*
.
*’information systems’ implement ‘backup’ + ‘disaster recovery equipment’ + ‘processes’ to prevent ‘data loss’ or restore ‘lost data’*
.
(‘data loss’ is distinguished from ‘data un-availability’, which may arise from a ‘network outage’)
.
(although the 2 have substantially similar consequences for ‘users’, ‘data unavailability’ is ‘temporary’ while ‘data loss’ may be ‘permanent’)
.
(‘data loss’ is also distinct from ‘data breach’, an incident where data falls into the ‘wrong hands’, although the term ‘data loss’ has been used in those incidents)
