Something Really Scary

Halloween is over, but here is something really scary. You go into work on Monday morning and turn on your computer and nothing happens or you get the dreaded blue screen of death. When was the last time you did a back up? Here is an article that describes just how important regular back up of our computer hard drives is especially if you are a small business owner. In fact, a recent poll finds that 76% of small business owners have lost information due to defective drives and that more than half never recover any of the lost data.

There are more backup options available than ever before. An external hard drive with backup software is a great option for backing up your entire system, as mentioned in  the article. You can use a thumb drive to back up essential files. There was an 8GB thumb drive advertised in a local paper for $25 this weekend so this is really a low cost option. Another backup possibility is on line backup either through your anti virus software or many of the many companies on the Internet. Just do a Google search on backup software and you will find find numerous options. One way or another, be safe and find some way to back up your data to avoid a really scary situation.
