Many businesses deal with massive electronic data, which is substantial to their business processes, sales and decision-making. Loss of data is therefore inevitable and may be caused by many factors, with poor hardware conditions and lack of backup procedures be the most common reason.
A typical small office can back up data and files to a widely available USB drives or even external hard drives. This method is fine as long as you remember to!
For offices where files and data sharing among office individuals are important, the task becomes more tedious as each individual needs to be able to commit to do the backup frequently.
Golden Rules: Always Check Your Backup Files!
The most significant thing that sometimes gets overlooked is testing the backup. Data backup may sometimes incur error and corrupted hence when retrieved it becomes nothing but useless. So always have your backup tested and make sure it really works!
At Quantiva, we can implement a backup solution for your office, where files and data are mirrored to a local file-server device. This backup server will act as an incremental backup and a full backup solution. The incremental backup runs two or more times during the day and a full complete backup runs weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
