Back Up Your Data Now Warning
Published / Last Updated on 20/07/2023
Many of us have lost their phones or sim card or computers have crashed, or deleted files by accident or even been hacked and data stolen. In fact, one of our employee’s PC hard drives failed completely last week but we were back up and running in a few hours.
As a firm we already back up all our online data every night as well as having a mirror server to ensure continuity of services if one server ‘goes down’. In addition, every PC and laptop has its own cloud drives and even separate portable drives to back up all our data at close of business everyday. No portable drives are stored in our offices overnight.
Do you regularly back up phone, tablet, pc, laptop? Do you think online viruses and hacking is ever going to be stopped? Do you really want to risk losing your data, email, banking apps, photographs, videos, music and more?
