Backup 101 : Do It!

It's scary. A disaster waiting to happen. I spend a good share of last week and the week-end helping to recover a clients accounting / payroll records. It would have been a piece of cake had they kept a backup copy of their records.

It only takes a minute or two, can be done on your machine or thru a web based or remote backup service. It is most critical to make backups. Besides having a valid backup can save hundreds of dollars of recover time, stress and perhaps...heart failure.

So, please, if you are reading this post. Take time to make backup copies of critical data on your computer or small network. Doing so will make life a lot easier.

Also, your web site...check with your web master or hosting firm. Do they have timely back up copies?
