My friend Karl Palachuk owns an IT consulting firm in Sacramento, California. He as writen an artical about "the 5 most notorius ( and expensive) mistakes small business owners make with their computer network - how to avoid them". In this artical he talks about 1-backup, 2-testing your backup, 3-getting that tested backup offsite 4-Antivirus, and 5-Firewall. Did you notice that 3 items were all about your data's backup. So lets talk about your data, do you know what you could not recreate? Ok so that data must be backed-up. Now how about the stuff you could re-enter in the event of a hardware failure. Have you got all the bank statements, do you keep a copy of every check written, do you keep a copy of every invoice sent to your clients? If you had all this how long would it take to recreate a week / month / year's worth of data? We know of companies that lost just five (5) to ten (10) days of data and it took weeks to recreate. No image the worst has happened, you office space is a pill of ashes. You have no paper to go back to, you do not even have all of your clients contact information, what who you do. If you had TeamCNS, we would know the status of your last backup and we would already be working on restoring it to a temp server, we would have already contacted the phone company to start forwarding your phones to an alternate number, your email would be already routed to our live archive servers so email is up too. We have been through the real thing and our clients never knew that we were working out of a temporary office. If you are not sure of the status of your backup or need help with a backup plan call us today for a free backup review.
