OK to start off, NO business should be without a backup solution! That's right, EVERYONE should have a backup of their valuable data. So let's look at 2 questions:
Maybe you've already guessed the answers, but if you haven't try the following:
- If your data wasn't backed up, then you'll probably go out of business!
- If all of your key data (including client information) is only held on your laptop, then you'll definitely suffer a significant impact to your business and could ultimately go out of business!
I often see people backing up to an external device but then leaving this attached to the PC, this is obviously not a good idea! Backups need to be regular and taken offsite, either through automated means or by physically taking the backup media offsite to a secure location.
So your options are:
- USB memory key
- CD/DVD
- Tape
- Offsite services
The amount of time and effort saved from having a good backup could be the difference between a rebuild and the company going out of business.
