Do you have ongoing support needs or considering a project that requires more than just a few hours from us? -

We offer prepaid support packages that save you money! You will receive 8 hours of support, but only pay for 7! Call us for more details.

Remember last month? "It's a computer - it WILL break". I talked about having a list of hardware and settings available for your technician in the event of a computer failure.

As part of the whole, 'it will break' issue, of course we all know we have to have backups. If you are in business, your livelihood may well depend on a failsafe backup routine. In many cases, it would be absolutely catastrophic if you had to reconstruct your business records and sales information. If you are a home user, you might have many, many years of irreplaceable memories of images and other information.

There are many acceptable ways of doing backups (more on that later this month), but the one thing all of them have in common is that you need to KNOW they are actually working! We have seen to many times where a client has a great backup routine in place, and then they when they NEED the backups, they find out they are unusable.

To verify your backup routine, don't just depend on the backup log or the fact that it looks like your files are being copied. Actually go to the backups occasionally and try to restore a few of the files you think are being backed up. In particular, try one or two of the critical information files that you count on every day.

In this day of digital information storage, we have to be more proactive to insure we have copies our valuable information. Take the time now, it may save your memories or your business (and your sanity)!

 

Still thinking about a website? - Give us a call! We have hosting packages starting at $200 per year. Many 'business card' sites (2-6 pages) can be put together for $200-$400!
