FEBRUARY 2004 TIP OF THE MONTH

Question:
Why do I want to back up my data?

This is a common question that is similar in nature to insurance. You can go months or years without the need of having a data store but once something happens to your personal computer, the consequences can be catastrophic and catch you off guard .

Many People underestimate the value of the data contained on their computers, believing the most valuable part is it's hardware. Consider for a moment the business loss of revenue due to reentering a years worth of data, the inability to track or bill outgoing services or products, or the inability to access your recent emails or financial records. These apply on a personal level as well as on a business critical level.

Answer:
The ideal solution is for the PC user to use a backup utility, where you can inform the system of the appropriate files to be backed up and schedule it automatically. This software should be unobtrusive and reliable. Data created should be placed on media that is available to the user, cost effective, and does not require replacement, like an external drive or network share on a server. New computer's often come bundled with hardware technology that will allow you to burn data to a CD for storage. This is a great solution for maintaining your data.
