The most important part of your business

Ask yourself – “what would happen if my business’ data disappear if my computer fails, or my central business server/computer”. Or even, what would happen if your current backups failed and you need to perform file restores? Check out the shocking statistics below to see the possible consequences.

What is a disater recovery plan?

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented, structured approach with instructions for responding to unplanned incidents. Disaster recovery planning is an integral part of any business’s IT strategy, and is becoming more prevalent as security breaches and network outages have become common threats, and the cost of downtime has steadily increased.

Is an external hard drive enough?

Backups can be performed using something from as simple as a flash drive or external drive. But that is not enough. These devices are only a single-point backup, and when that fails, your backup meant nothing. Backup approaches like the 3-2-1 approach as well as cloud backups are essential – YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH BACKUPS!

So, what is a Backup?

A backup is a second copy of all your important files — for example, your family photos, home videos, documents, emails, business data, etc. Instead of storing it all in one place (like your computer), you keep another copy of everything somewhere safe (off-site). You can also make a backup of your backups – again, you can NEVER have enough backups of your data.

When should I perform backups?

The best approach should be to make backups daily. This might seem tedious, but NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems can take the hassle out of your daily backups. You can then backup your NAS content weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. You should AT LEAST have one full backup stored off-site in a safe or safe place (not in your laptop bag or car). TechStudio has an undisclosed location to store customer off-site backups in a safe place.

What would you do if you lost everything?

The video below will reveal some shocking truths on why you should backup your data. Ask yourself again – what would you do if you lost EVERYTHING.
