Business data

It is absolutely crucial to backup company data on a regular basis, preferably every day.

In the old days of limited storage and tape drives it used to be quite a chore to keep backups running smoothly. Today all that is a thing of the past.

With network storage (NAS) devices and cloud backup there is just no excuse not to backup.
