Today we&#8217;re going to talk about the five keys to data protection for professional offices in Canada. If you&#8217;re a law office or accounting office, engineering, this information is for you.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about data protection.<\/p>\n<h5>#1 &#8211; We recommend a whole system backup<\/h5>\n<p>Why? When it comes to backup it&#8217;s really about recovery time. If you&#8217;re not using a whole system backup when it&#8217;s time to recover you&#8217;re really just piecing things together. Let&#8217;s talk about backing up a program for an example. If you lost a program and you need to recover it, and you weren&#8217;t backing up the whole program just the files, when it was time to recover you would need to find the installation CD&#8217;s, the the activation codes, redo the settings, reinstall the program before you can even get to recovering the files.<\/p>\n<h5>#2 &#8211; Backing up frequently<\/h5>\n<p>Backing up frequently protects your data regularly, keeping it fresh. If you&#8217;re thinking about working on a file, you were to lose that file and you could just go back to a more earlier recovery point, it may only be minutes old. If you multiply that across the office and you have many people working on files and you&#8217;re not backing up regularly, there could be a lot of lost work and a lot of people re-entering data. Simply backing up frequently will save you time and frustration.<\/p>\n<h5>#3 &#8211; Make sure you&#8217;re saving your files in an area that&#8217;s being back up by the system<\/h5>\n<p>If you&#8217;re saving your files to a laptop or a thumb drive and it&#8217;s lost or stolen the chances are those files aren&#8217;t being backed up. It&#8217;s an easy configuration. If you have any questions about it just give our office a call.<\/p>\n<h5>#4 &#8211; Backing up off site<\/h5>\n<p>To this point we&#8217;ve been talking about backup. Why would you take an off site backup? How about if the backed up data you have on site becomes unusable and you can&#8217;t recover from it? You can always use your off site copies. If you have some kind of disaster in the office like a floor or a server stolen going to your off site copies will let you recover your systems to the way they were. If you&#8217;re a larger firm, based on the amount of data you have you should really be using an off site backup.<\/p>\n<h5>#5 &#8211; Backup in Canada<\/h5>\n<p>Hey, it makes a lot of sense to have an off site backup but where is that data being stored? If you have sensitive client data like an accounting office or a law firm and you need to be sure it&#8217;s secure you need to backup to Canada. We do that. We back it up, we encrypt it, and it&#8217;s all stored in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, guys. Today we talked about five things. Number one, using a whole system backup for quicker recovery times. Number two, taking frequent backups so the data is fresh. Number three, making sure you&#8217;re backing up your data in a place where it&#8217;s being backed up. Number four, using an off site backup as part of your recovery time. Number five, keeping your data in Canada so it&#8217;s secure. Hopefully, that was helpful. If you have any comments throw them below. If you have any questions about your backup system feel free to send us an email at <a href=\"http:\/\/nexthop.ca\/contact-us\/\">info@nexthop.ca<\/a>, we&#8217;d love to help. Until next time, I&#8217;m Tim Hall from Next Hop Solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Keys to Data Protection Hi, it&#8217;s Tim Hall here from Next Hop Solutions with another technology insight for professionals.
