Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan
Even Small Businesses Need Their Information Protected
Difference Between A Backup And Disaster Recovery
Most everyone that has a computer know they need good backups of their files. Even a home user that has pictures, videos and more, want to place a copy of these files somewhere else. For a business, you have to have backups.
A backup is just that, you place a copy of your business data anywhere else rather than the computer itself. But there are better ways than I have seen going on in small businesses. Using an external USB drive is fine as this is really common. However, your business still isn't safe.
What is safe when it comes to backups? Having the backups off-site is the best method. This leads into having a good backup and disaster recovery plan. If your small business was physically destroyed, say by fire, weather or what-have-you. How would you get your business running and how long will it take you?
A disaster recovery plan will put those answers into place for you if the need ever came about. Of course, without good off-site backups, you will not be able to restore your data. So, the two can work hand-in-hand. Disaster plans are more then just your computer and data. It is a plan on how to get setup somewhere else in as short of a time as possible.

Pricing will always vary since this will be a full customized service. However, I can tell you that no one will ever beat my cost and my cost are adjusted to help small businesses. On the average, an external USB drive run under $100 for an adequate size. For some processes, it may require two for rotations. There are some online backup options that run around $100 a year.
