I've noticed that when I ask clients that question, the answer usually is "I don't know..." or worse "What's a backup?" I generally know the answer off the top of my head. For example, right now the answer is "In progress" for my tablet, and "I'm due" for my desktop.
Backups are important things. Think about it. If you lose your computer, you can always replace the hardware and the programs. But if you lose your data, what will it cost you? Probably more than you would guess...
Do you store your financial information on your computer? Where else do you store it? If you are like me, the only other place some of that information is located is on your backup drive. If I lose the data on my drive, I lose:
- The contact information for most of my clients
- Tax records for the life of my business
- My calendar
- My email
- My to do list
- The electronic copies of my books
- All outst
