Data Back-up

Key

$ Earnings: Subscription for $50-$250 per backup, or $2-$10 per gigabyte, or per month if remote, plus media (DVD cost,etc)

Many business owners are risking the years of hard work they invested in their businesses by failing to properly backup their data. Are you one of them? If an event like a fire, power outage, theft, equipment failure, virus, or simple operator mistake caused you to lose all of your mission-critical data, how soon would your business be able to recover? Or would it recover at all? We're asking this question because studies show that over half of all companies who lose their data to some kind of accident, equipment failure, or disaster, fold within 6 months of doing so.

Studies show that over half of all companies who lose their data to some kind of accident, equipment failure, or disaster, fold within 6 months of doing so. Everyone knows they should be doing data backup, very few businesses or individuals actually do it. Even those who do, often do it wrong. They back everything up onto a tape backup unit, then store the tape in the drawer next to the computer. What good does that do if there is a fire?

To be effective, backups must be stored offsite. I recommend doing it on DVD, since as far as we know that data should be good for up to 100 years. Magnetic media like tape on the other hand deteriorated fairly rapidly over time. With DVD you also have a fairly universal format that will likely be playable for many years into the future. Avoid proprietary media (anybody still use Zip or Jazz drives?).

An option once a company trusts you is to set up a system that can automatically and remotely back up their data, to your server or to one of the services online that provide storage space.
