Do You Have Your Data Backup Plan In Place? - Top 5 Tips to Ensure Proper Data Protection

New York, September 19, 2006 — Data loss is something most computer users can identify with. An accidental press of the 'delete’ button, burnt-out computers, viruses, damaged hardware, theft, natural disasters... the list goes on. Facing the loss of hundreds of hours of hard work, business files, personal papers, or photos, is something computer users would prefer to avoid. However, many users believe it will never happen to them, and learn the hard way.

Don’t leave yourself or your business vulnerable to data loss. By following these 5 simple steps, you’ll always ensure your data is secure:

1. Store All Data in One Place

Use the 'My Documents’ folder and preferably keep it on a separate disk partition
Be organized and use a consistent folder structure

2. Backup Daily with an Automated Backup Tool

Monthly backups are better than nothing, but how much can you lose between infrequent backups?
If you forget to do something, will your backup still happen?
Remember: hard disks can fail without notice

3. Don't Forget Your Email

Do you know where your email file is kept?
Restoring email data can sometimes be difficult

4. Test Your Backup Frequently

Did you select all the folders you need to backup?
Have you tried restoring your data?

5. Store Backup Data in a Geographically Remote Location

If you are affected by a disaster, will your backup vendor also be affected?
Keep copies of your software CDs and license keys
How can you access your data in an emergency?

According to Peter Carroll, Chief Technology Officer, Data Deposit Box, "Computer users should also remember to back up their PCs and not just the servers. If you have a traveling executive with a laptop, they are also traveling with data stored on their local hard disk. Most IT departments do not have a solution in place to backup mobile workers. With online backup it’s a slam dunk!"
