Sweaty palms and a racing pulse -- these are only some of the symptoms experienced when you realize that all of your data is gone.  No more spreadsheets.  No more business plans.  Nothing.  You will need to start over – or hope that the information can somehow be retrieved in time. 

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard in my 20-year career, “We lost everything.  I just wish I had backed it up.”  And in today’s data-centric world, backup is no longer an option -- whether it be your home computer or office servers.  However, many people have told me they just weren’t sure where to start.  Hopefully, this post will help answer your questions about data backup: how to do it, what solution is best and what does it cost.
