Data Backup

It has been said that everyone believes in backup, sooner or later.  Some believe in backup before disaster strikes, and some become believers after disaster strikes.  Imagine having a warehouse full of products, customers for the product, employees ready to take orders, produce, and ship the product; and no way to conduct business, no data.

Proper data backup is one of the most underrated and overlooked "business" functions.

Files, folders, and data can be destroyed in many ways:  

	Accidental or malicious deletion
	Hardware failure, power failure, or virus infection
	Physical destruction, fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, hurricane, or any other natural disaster
	Theft of your equipment

Here are a few questions you must answer as you are planning your backup strategy:

	What should I backup?
	How often should I backup?
	Do I know where my data is stored? (server, desktop, notebook, etc.)
	What media should I use for backup? (tape, cd, dvd, disk)
	Do I understand the options of my backup methodology and software and what they mean to restoring my systems or data?
	Will I store my backups onsite or offsite?
	If I store offsite, how do I plan to move the backups?
	Are there special legal and regulatory requirements that I have to meet in my data backups?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, let us help you design a backup strategy that works and solves this very real "business" problem.
