We live in a digital age, personally and professionally. Files that represent our lives and livelihoods are stored on our computers. But, we all know things happen.
Before you run away at the thought of a complex backup system, you'll be glad to know that the method of using tape backups to protect your files are long gone. In fact, these days it's recommended that you back up to an external hard drive via USB on a regular basis for your home or office.
When you can't back up to a USB, Cobain is software of choice. The advantage to Cobain is that it's quick and efficient; you plug it into the PC and it knows its job, performing what needs to be done. Cobain helps back up your files and directories from original hard drive locations to other directories and files on the same computer. It doesn't get any easier. This worthwhile investment will pay for itself if you've had even one system failure.
But, for larger amounts of data, often it's not enough to back up your computer using the software you have in your home or office.
In this case, opt to have your data stored at a safer distance, outside the location of your PC. Software-enabled online backup can do just the trick. Carbonite is our recommendation for an online backup process for a single PC, and is offered at a reasonable price.
In business, if you're like most consumers, you are constantly trying to find ways to lower capital and operational costs. As a result, many companies perform the minimal amount of backup, putting themselves at risk for potential loss of data, often deferring to the excuse that it's too time-consuming. Staff is ineffectively assigned the backup task. Who does what, and when? Is that person equipped and knowledgeable to handle the task if there's a glitch or failure? More-often-than-not this task is based on office location. You know, the one closest to the network server gets the responsibility.
