When Was the Last Time You Tested Your Backup
With major storms and power outages occurring throughout the year, it is important to make sure you have the right systems in place to protect your data. Catastrophic data loss can result from hardware failures, natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, system outages, or network disruptions. Backing up your data is imperative.
When was the Last Time Your IT Company Checked Your Data Backups?
