Data protection is crucial for protecting your business's continuity. If your only data backup is on a computer and the hard disk fails or is damaged by a power surge, your business data is gone. And having paper copies of business data isn't adequate data protection; what if your business premises burn to the ground or experience severe flooding? Once again the data you need to carry on your business could be irretrievably lost.
The basic rule for business data protection is that if losing the data will interfere with doing business, back it up. You can reinstall software programs if you need to, but recovering the details of transactions or business correspondence is impossible if those files are lost or damaged beyond repair.
What needs to be archived in a data backup? ... all of the files that you’ve created and/or modified should be regularly backed up. For many businesses, this includes everything from accounting files through email.
If possible, backup over your computer network, keeping your data backup files on a separate hard drive from the original files. If this isn't possible because you have a stand-alone computer, put your data backup files in a separate directory or to an external USB Hard Drive, and increase your schedule for creating physical backups.
