Why Backup?
When you consider
the years worth of data contained in your computer and the
value of its software, the files on your hard disk may be
worth many times the cost of the computer itself. You should
be able to recover from a total loss of your system due to
a disk crash, computer theft, fire or other disasters. However,
one corrupted or mistakenly deleted file can be just as bad.
How long would it take you to rebuild that database or contact
list? Could your company or department continue operations
without it? Whether you are responsible for all of the computers
on your office network, or just your individual system, you
should have a backup and recovery plan.
