You know you ought to but you never quite get round to it. So many businesses risk their valuable data, located on one hard-disk without a backup and vulnerable to:

• Disk failure
• Computer theft
• Fire
• Flood
• Power surges/lightning

We can help you implement a backup and restore policy for your organisation to help you decide:

• Which files to backup
• The location of important files and directories
• Who is authorised to perform backups
• Conditions for performing backups
• Frequency of backup
• Speed required for restoring data
• Data retention periods
• Data verification
• Where to locate offsite backups

This often entails writing custom scripts tailored to the size of your network, particularly where a network backup is required. For most small organisations CD-ROM and DVD-ROM media provide sufficient storage capacity for full data backups, lowering the cost of storage media dramatically. For full system backups we recommend using external hard-drives which have also dropped significantly in price.
