Top 3 Reasons To Back Up Your Business Data

[AngelBiz]

Do you store important documents on USB sticks? Have you been working on an important memo on your laptop or smartphone but forgotten to transfer it to your desktop? We all know that technology is temperamental at the best of times, but have you taken time to back up your business data? Lost data not only takes times to replace, but it can also cost your business in the long term. Ineffective data management and storage can cause a financial disaster, no matter the size of your firm. So don’t leave it too late, or wait until data loss impacts your business. Make sure that your company and employees are fully briefed about what is at stake if business data is not effectively backed up.

Data loss can also result with the loss of the use of a specific software. For example, you have an online CRM software that you pay an annual subscription fee to have and use. The subscription lapses and you lose access to the data. You can't access the site. Or you may have the data on your laptop but it's in a format that only the CRM can read. That could be catastrophic.

So, have backups of your important data and make sure that you have the ability to access/read them in future. I have my important data in their original format but also exported as text files or PDF. That way I can reuse the data in an emergency or if I switch to different software.
