4 REASONS PEOPLE DON’T BACK UP THEIR BUSINESS DATA

November 24th, 2010 § 56 comments

  • I’m way too busy to back up
  • I can’t figure out how to do it
  • My computer is very reliable. It’s never let me down
  • Doesn’t that cost a lot of money?

    All of which are pretty flimsy reasons. Backing up your data can be as simple as burning the files and folder to CD, DVD or copying them to an external harddrive.

    Off-site auto backups are the ideal option and take out the risk of property damage for on-site backup storage.

    It is easy to see that it does not take long, is simple to do and can cost only a small amount. Should the worst happen and you lose your data what would the cost be as compared to the pittance it would cost you to do regular backups.

    Regular backups ensure your most sensitive and essential information is safely stored and can be instantly accessed should your on-site copies be corrupted, lost, stolen or destroyed.

    Nothing is certain in computer technology and, every now and then, your system will corrupt or overwrite essential data, if you have not done a recent backup you may be in considerable strife.

    It can be the worst thing to happen to a business.

    The paralysis of your business when your computer system is non-operational for more than a week or two can result in an enormous amount of damage to your day to day functioning and inflict a wound from which it may never heal.

    Five years later just on half of those business so afflicted will have disappeared.

    For the individual it can be almost as bad. There are photos, creative writing projects or other similar data.

    It could be music you have created or downloaded.

    It could be poetry. All told your emotional investment in the data just makes the loss harder to take.

    It is not all over but, you do have recourse.

    More often than not the data is recoverable with the skilled attention of a specialist.

    Century IT Consultants in Perth, Western Australia is one such specialist.
