This Week's Tech Tip

Is Your Data Safe?

Five years ago, a national survey found that 90% of residential and small business customers do not back up their data. In last year’s survey that number fell to 78%. Most of us have irreplaceable information on our computers. Pictures of loved ones. Music we have purchased. Our accounting information. Important emails. Items we would miss or be devastated if our hard drive crashed. One of our clients had her product patent information, the pictures from an expensive long awaited trip to Ireland, and all of her customer information loaded on her computer when her drive crashed that was not backed up. The missing information was important enough that she paid $1,800 to DriveSavers in California to have it retrieved. About once a month or twelve times a year one of our customer’s drives crash. One of the most used services for backing up data off site is Carbonite. They charge $55 per year for an unlimited amount of data. I am not aware of any service that cost less. There are some situations for which Carbonite is not the right solution. If you are unsure about what the best choice is for backing up your data, give us a call. Based on your situation, we can recommend the right solution for you.
