"What is a backup"
to
"We have never had a problem"
or
"We backup our data to the cloud or compact disks"
First
Why do we backup a computer?
It is like buying insurance, costs money, but nice to have when
the computer fails or gets stolen or,
the house or business burns down or
you accidentally delete an important document.
Two Types of Backups
Data Only
Backing only the items you create, such as documents and accountings files.
This is better than nothing !!!
However, are you making copies of ALL your important files ?
I bet, if I checked your system, you missed some important
items such as all your emails and or computer settings.
If your computer system goes down, burns up, or is stolen.
You will have to reload your operating system, your programs and data
from your backups.
Then after HOURS of doing the above, plus trying to find your email settings
and all those little items you have changed to personalize
your computer over the years.
You MAY have a running workable computer system.
This usually takes an average time of 20 hours.
Things will still be missing or lost for weeks and months,
or
never works correctly.
Your computer is like it just came out of the box,
with some of your data installed,
with all extra programs and all little things you
personalize on your system,
lost forever
unless you spend
hours and hours,
finding them.
Image Backup
The Best Way To Backup A Computer !!!!
An image backup is snapshot of your computer system.
A perfect copy at the time it is done.
Using software and an extra external hard drive(s), you make
a compressed perfect copy of all your files,
settings and everything that makes
your computer run.
If there is problem you can reload just one item
or
the complete computer
within
a short time ( usually under 2 hours )
your system is up an running
as if nothing has happened.

What ever backup method you decide is best for situation
Always, Always make two copies.
One copy is kept onsite in your business office
and
One copy is kept off site at a safe location to protect
your valuable information in the event of total loss
of your business office or computer.
Remember during break-ins thieves usually
steal the your complete computer system
and a fire in your home or office
will leave you with nothing.
