COMPUTER TIPS & ARTICLES

We all know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Yet, thinking about data safety often takes a distant second to the daily deadlines and pressures of running a business.

That means that most businesses, including your own, may end up offline and without your data after a simple lightning storm.

If a fire started in your building, the parts that weren't burned beyond recovery would probably have water damage. But even more common is software corruption, hardware failures and human error!

A backup and disaster recovery plan doesn't have to be complicated, time-consuming or expensive.

Here are a few simple questions to ask:

1. Do you back up your company's data daily to both an onsite and offsite location?
2. Are you absolutely certain that your backup copy is valid, complete and not corrupt? How do you know for sure?
3. If disaster strikes, HOW would you get your data back, and how long would it take? In many cases it takes days and often weeks; what would you do during that period of time?

More alarming is the statistic that 80% of companies that experience a data loss event go out of business within a year.
