Backup and Recovery Strategy

 

One of the most important components of your system should be your backup system. From a single PC to an array of servers, every system needs a viable and documented backup system. A good backup strategy is the only protection against hardware failure or software errors.

Does your business have a backup plan? Do you know it works and has it been tested? Could you recover from total hardware failure, fire, smoke or water damage? With CompuCommand you can!

A backup system does not have to be expensive or difficult to use. Many solutions are available today. From ZIP disks, CDRs, spare hard drives or tape backups, the list is expansive. You backup system can also be automated to allow unattended operation.

If you currently have a backup system in place, you also need to consider if you have all of your install media (programs) on floppy disk or CD Rom available and documented. If a piece of software fails, do you know where the media is to reinstall it and what version to install? CompuCommand can assist you in documenting and filing you install software.

One other issue to consider is documentation of your configuration settings, computer/printer/equipment names and addresses, software versions and firmware versions. This information is vital to recovering a system after a full system crash.
