Have you ever thought do I need a backup?
Do I need a backup? That is a question we are often asked. Our answer is always the same, of course. Yes, you need a backup.
Backing up company information is critical to a businesses continuity should a disaster occur.
Statistics show that if data is not backed up and a loss occurs 93% of businesses can go out of business within two years.
Regardless of whether you are backing up a standalone computer or your entire server a backup is important.
Here are a few reasons to answer do I need a backup:
Data Loss Prevention
This goes without saying if there is no backup and a disaster occurs regardless of the circumstances it can devastating.
If there is a fire, cyber attack, phishing attempt, or Ransomware. A backup would allow you to roll back with minimal interruption.
Easy Recovery
If you have a backup it can be as simple as clicking on a restore button. Often mistakes occur corrupting files or just making a mistake and need to be restored.
Accidental deletions or users moving the file in error. Setting up a simple recovery process can ease up headaches and allow quick recovery.

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
