Life of Backups

So many times I am asked, "Are backups really that important?". I think to myself and am astonished that someone would even ask me that. Do you really think that this is something to think about lightly, or even worse just take the risk of not having a solid back up. You may laugh or chuckle but you have no idea of how many people do not take backups of their data.

Today I witnessed a Doctors office that has not taken a backup in a year. Yes, a year. So you might ask but all their data is digital. Meaning es no papel. All digital. So if they had a fire, you guessed it, they would lose all their data.

Their are many solutions that you can go with CHEAPLY! There all out there and are actually fairly cheap compared to the loss that you would take. What is $2000 compared to all the damage you would take if you lost all your data? Just a drop in the bucket.

People please make a backup of your data. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Seriously. If you need help with a backup strategy, just let me know. I would be glad to help you with this.
