Computer Backup Strategies
What Would You Do If You Lost All Of Your Data?
In this day and age, data is everything to the business owner. Data stored on your computer can be anything from billing invoices, legal documents, checkbooks, appointment calendars, email correspondences, email addresses and more!
Losing any or all of that data can be devastating to a business. Imagine, for example, if you no longer had any record of who owed you money? In some cases, it is possible to go through paper records to re-construct and re-enter data, but this takes time, is inconvenient, unplanned, and costs money in wasted labor and lost production. Additionally, if you are unable to retrieve the data, or your paper trail is incomplete, you could potentially damage your business and income flow substantially and permanently!
It's Only A Matter of Time
Loss of your data could come in any variety of ways:
- Fire
- Flood
- Theft
- Hard Drive Failure
- File corruption or virus
The last two possibilities are very common in today’s business world, and the smart business owner will realize that it is only a matter of time before something above or similar might happen to them.
Unfortunately, because data backup is not automated, few business owners get into a good habit of backing up their data until a catastrophe occurs and all data is lost. These same business owners then become very concerned about having a data backup scenario having gone through the headaches of trying to recover their data unsuccessfully.
There is a much more Intelligent Solution…

Computer Operating System Backup & Recovery
Not IF But WHEN...
There is an old saying in the computer biz. "It's not IF it will crash but WHEN"
Sooner or later you will find yourself in a situation where your computer is crashing or failing to load the operating system.
It could be due to a update that did not install correctly, incompatible software, a virus or a problem with your harddrive.
Many times, it is necessary to reinstall everything from scratch. That means all of your customizations and software such as Office, Acrobat, or any custom business software will need to be reinstalled. in most cases you will need to download the software programs and enter the product codes or licenses that were assigned to your computer when you installed the software. If you do not have a backup your could be in for hours to days of re-installation. Getting the computer back to the way you liked it could take weeks of tweaking.
Backup & Restore Your Mac or Windows OS
