Business Awareness - Back-Up Your Files

According to IDC (www.idc.com) roughly 80% of small businesses and home office PC users have crucial data that is not backed up on a regular basis. All too often this happens because business owners are “too busy” to perform backups.

Dear business owner, your business critical data is constantly at risk due to hardware (harddisk) failure, human error, software corruption, viruses, theft, and physical disaster.
The only way to make sure you are protected from loosing your files is to make sure you have a good, reliable back up.

And at least once a month TAKE A COPY OF YOUR BACKUP OFF-SITE, in a secure place of course, to the bank, to your home, or get a on-line backup service to backup you data off-site
If you just do the backup and for some reason both the server and tha backup get stolen (because we all know they are in the same place in the same room), or it's a fire in the building, your business' chances to survive without critical data are minimal.
