I still come across businesses that seem so cavalier with their own data, it’s a wonder to how that stay in business – unfortunately many don’t after a serious event like a fire or flood!
What I find even more amazing are the companies that spend large amounts of money on exotic backup architectures, but never find time to actually test a restore their backups – finding out after the event is no time to discover that there’s actually nothing on the back up tape!
Many home PC users are also just as much in the dark about backups, which is surprising when just about every PC that is sold has a RW device and with free (albeit basic) backup software available on the Internet it could not be easier.
It’s even more amazing when you think that 8GB memory sticks are now available for under £50.00; less than it now takes to fill the average family car with petrol!
Back up that PC’s you’re never sure when you’ll need it.
