Backups… are they really that important?

If you were to turn back the hands of time and bring the clock back to the late 80’s and early 90’s, we would agree a backup consisted in most cases of a small thin plastic square which was inserted into an equally thin slot, which after a few minutes would allow you to save data.  These plastic squares of storage, also known as floppy’s, are now but extinct and have been replaced with devices which hold hundreds, thousands, or even millions of files.  Now, what’s the point of the remembering the golden years of the floppy?  Simply because it reminds us that backing up and saving our data was important then, and it’s even more important today.  With technology taking bigger and bigger leaps every year, our dependency on computers grow with every leap.  This means our data becomes more of  a priceless possession than just a simple file saved on a hard drive.  If your server were to crash, if a thief broke in and stole your computer, if a fire broke out in the middle of the night, is your precious data backed up?  Next time you talk to a friendly TCS support member, ask them which backup options will work best for you.  Don’t be a victim of data loss.
