Would you let your child ride in the car without a seatbelt? Safety precautions are important and also apply to your data.
WHY DO YOU NEED TO BACKUP YOUR DATA?
A recent survey revealed that 93% of businesses that suffer data loss for more than 10 days, file for bancrupcy within 1 year, with 50% filing immediately.
There are a million possible ways to lose your data. Imagine spilling a cup of coffee on your laptop, or leaving your notebook in a taxi. What if a virus destroys the data on your hard drive, or your operating system fails?
These are everyday examples of common data loss situations. In addition, there are disasters such as fire, flooding, theft and vandalism that add to the list of data loss scenarios.
We all hope we never have to suffer data loss, but just as we all take precautions when getting into a car, or buy property insurance for our homes, we also believe in preparing accordingly. So if you value your data, you must also safely protect and back it up.
WHY COPYING DATA TO AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ISN’T ALWAYS ENOUGH!
Unfortunately, a vast majority of people and small businesses do not adequately protect and back up their data. Many individuals do nothing at all, while some think they are doing enough simply by copying their files to an external hard drive. While this method seems logical in theory, it has many disadvantages. Not only is it inefficient, but the backups are not automated, the copying of files do not protect your files from viruses or corruption, and overall, it does not protect your entire operating system.
We have spent years evaluating the different backup solutions, so we have the knowledge and know-how to advise and recommend the best backup solution for your specific needs.
As part of our services, We will also TEST your backups on a regular basis, to make sure your data can be restored should you need it. After all, there is absolutely no point at all in making backups, if you can’t restore and use the data you have backed up when you need it!!
