It seems that in today's business environment, everything of any importance is stored and managed on the hard drive of your computer. Customer Records, Sales Records, Sales Records, Sales Records, Marketing Information, Receipts, Bank Records, and the Software to run all of those records. The list goes on and on, in fact without those records you would be out of business. There is no any way to over emphasis the need for good computer house keeping. Secure, safe and timely data backup is a necessity.

In my years in business, I have used various systems to back up my valuable files. I have used floppy discs and CDs. That made sense at the time, but what happens when someone accidentally spills the morning coffee on the top of the desk and warps the discs, or someone misplaces the data media, or even worse walks of with it.

Then, there is the tape back up that is supposed to be done in a timely manner each and every day. That for some reason seems to be one of the easiest things to forget to do, or even get neglected. We all have the best of intentions, but I have done it myself, once in awhile, it could be put off until later. I am sure that I am the only person who ever did that, right.

Then there is the employee who just hit the wrong key, or misplaced that file, and can not seem to find where it was filed. Too bad, that we had been working on the particular file for oh say, months. It seems that mistakes happen, but there are sometimes mistakes that can ruin a business. Some mistakes, it seems just can not to be recovered from. What about natural disasters like fire, flood, or an earthquake? It just does not make sense to have your valuable data stored on or near the location that it is generated in.

What I have found for my own peace of mind; is that a remote data backup site is imperative for my sanity. I have experienced various ways of loosing data, and crashing hard drives. The statement that there are those who have lost data, and those that will, is an absolute truth. This type of disaster can averted with forward thinking and proper planning.

So take the initiative, and seek a secure, reliable remote site backup, before the worst takes place, and you have a loss of data that you can not recover from.
