Why are Backups important?

Computers fill our life and our work.  They faithfully accumulate our pictures, our company’s books, and the ceaseless emails we get and send.  But, unless you back it up, all that data can be gone like a flash of lightning.

Here is some information that will help you understand the risks and solutions.

Backup Program – Backups protect you from hardware failure

Computers are more reliable than ever, so it’s easy to forget or put off backing up your data. We’ve all done it. But, computer drives still fail, and usually they give no advance warning.  One minute they’re working fine, and the next minute they’re toast.
And usually, when they fail, it’s impossible (or very expensive) to get any data off of them.

Backup Utility – Backups protect you from viruses

Some computer viruses will corrupt your data.  Some computer viruses will bog your machine down so much that you can’t log in. If you ever “lose” a computer to a virus, most technicians will advise you to wipe the drive clean and reinstall everything. Backups can be a life-saver in these extreme cases.

Backup Program – Backups protect you from theft

Thieves are more likely to steal high-tech items such as your laptop or tablet.  These items are in high demand and can be sold quickly and easily. If you have backups, it’s simple to restore your files to a new computer.  Without backups, that client signature may be gone forever.

Best backup utilities – Backups protect you from accidental deletion

Every computer has a Delete key, and sometimes it works too darn well. Have the staff ever deleted things from the server or their workstations so they could make room for the latest zombie killing game?  You know, things like last year’s tax filing or your orders folder. Backups can let you save and organise the really important things, so you don’t have to worry about what the zombie lovers might do with your data.

Best backup software – Backups protect you from fires, floods, and other disasters

We buy insurance for our homes and businesses, because disasters happen.  Think of your backups as data insurance.  We don’t like to think about what might happen, but good backups can make any disaster a little more survivable.  All you’ll have to do is setup a new computer and restore your backups.
