"The best back strategy is only good when you diligently use it just like Virus Software. Let's say you complete a threat-risk assessment to determine what back-up strategy works right now,. And you come up with a solution that best suits your needs. Then, in three months when the IT department upgrades the CPU or other hardware, you have to change your back-up tactic. Remember the time you back is always a factor of how much of your data changes and the frequency of changes that are done.

Backing up is not a very likeable task for most. Its one of those actions that must be done but at the back of your mind with all the other deadlines taking a immediate deadline . But remember Murphy's laws, just when you are about to start your backup the Hard disk fails . Again verifying the back up is not a desirable action for most as it takes another equally long time to complete it so the option is not chosen most of the time.

Again as far as the frequency is concerned. It will much depend on the type of files people use. A graphic artist with large files , though, may want to back up fortnightly or even weekly. People using point of sales systems may want to end up backing up at the end of each business day. Either way, Backup or face data loss.

Testimonial from our customer

Tony,

I would like to thank you and MicronDR for the fantastic service and support you provided in recovering data from my PC hard drive. I had pictures since 2004 of my kids and family on the drive which crashed and I now have them back. keep up the great work because some things you just cannot put a price on.
