Data backup support
The data that is created and used by a business is what it uses to make money. No data = No business. Therefore backing up data is absolutely imperative to a business and is an essential part of a business daily procedure.
A backup of the data must be taken on a daily basis by copying it to external media (such as a tape or external disk drive). Ideally, the external media should then be stored at a different geographical location. The main reason for this, is fire. When a fire breaks out, all the data on the server and the backups would be destroyed at the same time. Whilst a fire safe is also a good idea, make sure that it is also waterproof! It has been known for data backups to have been protected from the fire, but then damaged by the water used to extinguish it!
Your business is familar with fire alarm drills, but are you familiar with how to restore the data from your backups?
