Data Backup and Recovery
Data Backup and Recovery
Data backup can be as simple as manually making a copy of your data to a CD or thumb drive, and it can be as sophisticated as an automated web-based service that backs up your essential data automatically to a remote secure server. There are also automated CD and tape based systems.
Disaster recovery encompasses more than just a backup. It entails building a specific plan for identifying a crisis and how to respond, including the fall-back equipment that will be used, auxiliary power sources, and steps for restoring the data and employee interfaces.
Many small retailers will struggle with implementing a true disaster recovery plan, but making sure you have a good back goes a long way to helping restore your business and reducing downtime in the event of a disaster.
If you don't have a good backup system, ideally a remote, offsite backup that runs automatically and places your data on a secure server in a different location, then you owe it to yourself and your business to get one.
