Data backup 'a top priority'
Category: Data recovery
6 March, 2009
Data backup solutions should be a top priority for firms, one IT professional has argued.One of the most important issues for a business should be the implementation of strong data backup and recovery procedures in order to protect critical information.
Steve Burrows, IT director of Vanilla Group, told Computer Weekly that a firm should value its data as much as it does its employees and as such, IT staff should always ensure that complete backups of a company's records are created each day before going home for the evening.
"Be paranoid about data. You can buy new boxes, rebuild the systems, reinstall software etc, but you cannot rebuild lost data," Mr Burrows stated.
Meanwhile, IT news source CIOL.com recently reported that companies should store critical data backups in an offsite location to make recovery from a disaster an easier task.
However, the website noted that these files should be easily accessible as in the event of a crisis every second counts.
