 " Lost Data Can Cripple Your Business"

המומחים של Impact Sistems Engineering  מהונג קונג אומרים :

"Use your backup drives for virus protection. That means keeping your backups free from any virus infections, by using the latest virus protection for your existing site and for your backup devices. It also may mean doing a separate, system-wide backup periodically, so that you can install clean data in case you are infected. Bredin Business Information, for example, does daily backups of incremental data, plus a monthly system-wide backup to protect against a data-corrupting virus (such as the Anna Kournikova or I Love You viruses of the recent past). If you do daily backups with an online service, you can recover much more easily from a serious virus infection. Do an installation from the day before the virus hit. You may lose your most recent data, but you won't lose your shirt, and you can start fresh with a clean system."

" Implement a way to verify your backups. Even if you use an online service, you need to verify that your backups are good. Get into the practice of testing your backups periodically, especially if you are doing them yourself. Many businesses get into the bad habit of using the same CDs or tape drive over and over again. In time, those media will deteriorate. Your data could become corrupted. Use fresh media as often as you can. When in doubt, throw it out - before you've done a new backup."

" Last but not least, consider this your wake-up call. Get a backup system in place now, before you have a horror story of your own. "If you are an information-based company like ours," notes Bredin's Jenkins, "losing your data is like the kiss of death for your business."
