Tornado Proof your Business
It is Tornado season here in the Midwest, which makes for plenty of time in the basement listening to the weatherman and wondering if you’ll have a business to go to in the morning. Well, you can replace inventory, fix a building, etc. but your data (accounting, sales, invoices, payroll records, etc.) is another story entirely.
And simply copying stuff to a USB Hard disk doesn’t cut it either. What if your software is a couple revisions back? Will the new, current version of your accounting system read that old data? And if your backup is bad, then what do you do? And we would lay odds that you havn’t tested the recovery of data off of your old tape or USB Disk backups either. So you don’t really know if your protected, or not.
But it’s okay. You havn’t been hit with an EF4 yet. So how about we suggest that by realizing that IT is a Process, Not a Project you can implement a solid strategy for data backup and recovery along with a disaster recovery plan that can help protect you from a big twister, monster hail storm, flood, or whatever else might hit your business. And let you recover fast.
The ultimate solution should:
- Keep your Data Offsite and out of the region for better protection.
- Stored in a secure datacenter built for backup
- Include not only your data, but your programs as well
- And have a written “Plan of Action†so if bad things happen, you’ll know what to do, who to contact, and when.
