Ask Yourself This:
CASE
STUDY:
C & M Apostolides Ltd – specialist relocation, storage and
safe installations experts – needed a backup solution that would
protect their company and valuable information from any potential data
loss situations.
(You should be able to answer positively to these questions)
- Do you have a backup policy in place?
- Do you know what information is being backed up?
- Do you know what locations on your network you can save work to that will
be backed up?
- Periodically, do you take a backup and remove the tape from the cycle
as a permanent archive?
- Do you have someone within your company that can account for the status
of backups?
- In the event of their absence, is there a second ‘backup’
person who could immediately take over backup administration?
- Can you provide the last 9 working days (2 weeks) of backup tapes, or
other form of backup?
- Are your backup tapes clearly labelled?
- Where are your backup tapes stored?
- If you permanently lost access to your office now - could you
replace your network and your data?
- If one of your employees accidentally overwrote all of your accounts data
with an older version last week, could you retrieve the information?
