It won't happen to me.. Nah….. No way!

I once heard a fine observation that computer and system data back-up is like wearing a seat belt, 'everyone knows they should do it, but not everybody does'.

SimplyFone data and all computer systems are continually backed-up, & paranoid as I am, I'm forever testing the efficacy of my back-up systems and data recovery, in case, in case, just in case…

Most small business owners or even larger enterprises are very likely rather dependant on computer systems and data.
The data - accounts, clients' info, emails, 'favourites', passwords, notes - probably covers just about every aspect of running your business.

However, many don't pay nearly enough attention to the critical importance of backing up all data frequently and effectively.
Remember, if you were to lose any data your business could be severely impacted and suffer real problems. Your business information may literally be the lifeblood of your business & to lose that information may well be disastrous.

Why do I comment about the obvious you may well ask?

Yep - you guessed correctly.



Last Monday evening, my own computer suffered a total hard drive crash & I lost all the data on that hard particular drive...

Thankfully, 99% of the data I have now recovered because it's mostly duplicated at my office too, but losing the 1% has caused so much heartache and about 15+ wasted hours attempting to recover old email address, contacts information etc…

I've learned my lesson the hard way & am now backing-up everything - on personal & home comps, laptops and of course office systems…

But, are you?
