Why Backup? The Importance of Protecting Your Data

One of the keys to running a successful business is to set goals and have strategic steps in place to get you there. We all set goals - whether at the CEO level, or the ground level, we all have something we are working towards. However, we live in an uncertain world. What would you do if disaster struck and derailed you from your course? What would your employees do if you lost all of your files, or if your customer information was corrupted or missing? One of the most important things you can do to protect your business is to have a plan in place before something happens to help you recover your data and get back to work quickly. The scary truth about data loss is that if you don't have a plan in place in advance, there is a less than 10% chance that you will be able to recover from a major data loss. That is 90% of businesses closing their doors within two years of a disaster! The good news is that the ugly aftermath of a disaster can mostly be avoided by having a plan in place in advance. You may never be the victim of a hurricane or tornado, but data loss comes in many forms. Hardware failure, computer viruses, and human error can be just as destructive as natural disasters, and often are harder to predict. You don't have to recreate the wheel and come up with a contingency plan to backup your data and to recover from a disaster on your own. We are happy to work with you to come up with a plan that fits the needs of your business and leverages available technology to help you be as prepared as possible. Give us a call if you want to discuss what that plan looks like for you. If you would like to get some more information on backup and recovery solutions we invite you to join us on September 15th for our Lunch and Learn "Why Backup? The Importance of Protecting your Data". Contact us for more info or to RSVP.
