Backing Up Can Save Your Business, And It Is Inexpensive Now

Seagate750How much of your information can you be prepared to lose? If you are a real estate agent, mortgage broker, or any sort of information worker, you are taking great risks if you do not back up your data on a regular basis.

I was think of my own backup strategy. I use 3 computers and have about 500 gigabytes of data stored everywhere. Pictures, projects, email, files. All of my website information and backups. Lots of stuff.

Then I saw that Amazon was selling a  Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive for $259 dollars. The drive is external, so it can be moved from computer to computer and stored off site if necessary.

So today, think about how you back up you data. And what would happen tomorrow if your computer’s hard drive died. For 259 dollars you could have been a hero.

Its not enough to backup. You alos have to get that backed up information out of your office from time to time.

Most of it can be placed on DVD's but another idea is to get a 250-500gb portable hard drive and back up data from time to time and then take it home with you. That way if the office burns down or gets flooded you still have your data somewhere else.
