Surf Link has gotten off to a great start in 2009! We have been truly blessed to be able to help out so many small businesses in the month of January. Through working with these businesses I have noticed 1 major issue that is being overlooked by so many. Data Backups. Backups are kind of a funny thing, in that, you never really think about them until it’s too late. At that point, it’s not so funny. Many businesses may have a backup of their server or one main PC on the network where most of their data is stored, though they have no backups of their email, favorites, my documents, contacts, etc… These are all stored on each PC.  

Recovering data from crashed hard drives is a pure nightmare. Not only is it incredibly expensive, think of the downtime it will cause waiting a couple of days or  even weeks to get your data back. Expect to pay close to a grand for data recovery from just 1 desktop hard drive. When that data is server based or burned all to heck, expect to pay a lot more. Not cool.

Surf Link can set up a redundant backup system for your business to backup each PC’s data (email, favorites, my documents, contacts, etc…) as well as all of your server data. The backup system will allow for data to be stored offsite as well as onsite. So if anything does happen to your business (fire, flood, hurricane, etc…) your data will be available for recovery at any point in time. Please call or send us an email at jbell@surflinksolutions.com for more information.
