Backup and Recovery

6:40 AM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

  • Notice the term recovery. If you don't test your backup by trying to read it, the backup is useless. Did the backup succeed? Can I read the files from the backup? Are the files I need, part of the backup?
  • Is the backup stored in a safe place? If your laptop is connected to the external hard drive you are using for your backup, do you think the thief that steals your laptop will take your external hard drive too?
  • Are you sure that your emails, calendar, address book, tasks and notes from Outlook are backed up? Copying the outlook data file (*.pst), is not the way to go. You should export your files to a backup file using the built in Outlook export utility and make sure your backup procedure copies this file to the backup media.
  • Don't put off backing up your priceless stuff because you think it is going to be expensive or time consuming. A USB Flash Drive can be had for less than $20. It is possible to automate the procedure so that it occurs late at night while you are asleep.
  • High Tech House Calls has 25 years + of designing, implementing and testing backup and recovery procedures. Let us help you with yours so you can sleep better at night.
