Why Bother With A Back up?

There are many ways you can unintentionally lose information on a computer. A child playing the keyboard like a piano. A power surge or power cut, Lightning (No it doesn't have to actually strike the computer to do damage), floods or even theft. And believe it or not sometimes equipment just fails. Backing up your information regularly gives you a way to get some, if not all, of your information back in the event something happens to the originals on your computer.

What Can You Do?

Well you know the story by now. Give us a ring!!! We can discuss your particular situation and asses your current hardware. From this we can then formalise a strategy that is best for you. This will include such things as

• Back Up Media:

  There's a bewildering variety of things you can back up onto. There are floppy disks, tapes,Zip Drives,removable hard disks, re-writable CD-ROMs, re-writable DVD-ROMs, Online storage, Redundant disc arrays, Networked server storage. PHEW!!!!!.

• Back Up Software:

  This will depend on your current software and may require additional software depending on the scope of your back up requirements

• Back Up Strategy:

  With as much data as is stored on a modern computer system, how do you decide what to backup? we will design the best strategy to suit your needs

• Back Up Restoration:

  It is important that the strategy adopted for back up will actually allow restoration in a crisis. Ideally the back up solution will be able to independently restore its data without the need of the parent program that created it on the Hard drive

 

Don't Worry

It all sounds very complicated but once set up your back up strategy should be quite transparent. To be most effective it should also be automated as if left to us humans we always forget. So call us now before you learn the hard way and believe me we have all been the victim of losing precious data at some time or other
