For most small businesses these days, your data IS your business, so protecting it is vital. Even if you're lucky enough to escape virus threats, unauthorised access, power cuts and mains spikes - you're still open to two further risks: human error and mechanical failure.

How often have files been deleted by mistake? How many times have extensive changes been made to a document and then you suddenly realise you needed the original version back again? It doesn't have to happen many times to become time consuming and frustrating.

Hard disks introduce a mechanical aspect to your computer systems. All mechanical devices wear down and eventually fail. Today's hard disks are certainly far more reliable than those of 10 years ago - but that doesn't mean that there can't be a catastrophic failure within the lifetime of a server or desktop machine.

Like all insurance, data backup seems like a waste of time until something happens - when the presentation you've been working on for the past week disappears or your customer and sales databases are corrupted. It only has to happen once to make a regular backup strategy worthwhile.

For most businesses we would recommend an automated offsite backup system. After initial configuration, all files are compressed, encrypted and transferred to an offsite data centre at a set time each day without user intervention. It allows you to archive many different versions of files and restore them easily if required. Even in the unfortunate event of complete loss of equipment through fire, theft etc., your server can be fully restored and operational within a couple of hours (subject to the availability of new server hardware).
