The data stored on a company's computer systems is normally considered to be one of its most important assets. Data lost due to system failure, accidental deletion, fire, theft, virus infection or ransom attack can have disastrous consequences.

Establishing a robust, documented plan detailing how systems can be restored in the even of different disaster scenarios allows systems to be restored to normal operation in a timely manor. It is essential to have backups available and ensure recent copies are available when needed.

A well structured back-up regime ensures data can be restored days, weeks and months later. Within a client/server environment all data should be stored on the servers so that it is included within the backup. The backup media should be stored offsite to cover the possibility of a fire in the office. Online or cloud based backup solutions enable off site storage without relying on staff to remember to take media offsite.
