Having a backup and restore system in place is crucial to your business and to your computer network. A good backup system is one of those things that you hope never to need, but if you do need it and don’t have it, the consequences can be disastrous. On the other hand, when you have regular and comprehensive backing up of your systems, you can proceed with confidence knowing that your data is safe.

• About Backup and Restore

A backup is simply a copy of your data kept in a separate location so that if the data should be lost from your computers, it can be restored from the copy. Data loss is an extremely common occurrence, so you do not want to gamble that it will not happen to you. The two main times that major data loss can occur are when a major disaster actually destroys all or part of the system, or more commonly, when a batch of important files are accidentally and irrevocably deleted.

• Backup and Restore Systems

An effective backup and restore system requires a data repository. This is a place where a copy of every piece of data in your system goes to await a restore request. You can have multiple copies of each bit of data, and you can choose different ways to have your data backed up with regard to frequency (every time there is any change, every hour, every day, etc.). It’s important with whatever backup system you choose that you feel confident that your data and your system are protected.
