How To Avoid The Most Common Mistakes With Backup

Paul Mah gets a 'fresh perspective' on backup for small businesses from Jennifer Walzer, CEO and founder of Backup My Info.

"Many small and mid-sized businesses do not maintain dedicated IT personnel or have a scattering of professionals whose job is to make everything work. The downside of having so little technical expertise on hand means that many businesses invariably commit the same mistakes. Since it has been some time since I last wrote about disaster recovery and maintaining proper data backups, I decided to revisit the issue.

For a fresh perspective on this topic, I approached Jennifer Walzer, chief executive officer and founder of Backup My Info!, a company that specializes in the secure, off-site backup of data. Walzer was candid in sharing her vast experience on this matter, and sent back a long list of problem areas via e-mail."
