It’s not too expensive to backup if you pick your data wisely

Hi Gang, I’m back… Some people have recently said that backing up 100GB is too expensive. I have two things to say to that:
- How do you define too expensive? If you lose that data, or are only able to recover bits and pieces of it - which may be worse than losing it all, how much will that cost you? Don’t forget to calculate lost productivity, missed billing opportunities, the hard cost of tech services personnel…
- Why would you think that only one solution is viable? Do you keep all of you important financial papers in your safe deposit box at the bank? You probably only keep the most important stuff there - you can implement the same strategy with NDP. Protect only the OS, accounting and critical files. For most of us that will only cost about $50 per month. Not too expensive to keep your business going when the s*** hits the fan.
There are those who backup - and those who will.
Later,
John
