Perhaps there's not another place in the business world where there's a bigger need for data protection than with the franchisee. When you consider that all of the mission critical information that is stored on all the PCs that a franchise might operate could be destroyed by a number of factors, the need for some manner of online backup service becomes clear. It's common knowledge that the information that every business has is one of the more valuable assets that it owns and to lose it without the capability of getting it back could be devastating.
Many franchisees are not even fully aware of the variety of ways that they can lose this information. Here's a partial list of the threats that the common business owner faces.
1. Natural Disasters. Here's the one that many don't think of until they've experienced dramatic file loss as a result from a fire or flood. Remember that only remote backups will save you here. Any of the conventional ways of data protection like CD Roms and FlashDrives will be lost in a natural disaster with the computer or laptop. 2. Human Error. Everyone means well and wants to remember to save all the information every night, but we're all just human in the end. 3. Malicious Ex Employees and Vandals. Another form of human error. Quite often people can learn to use the computer for all the wrong reasons as well. 4. Worms and Viruses. These are generally considered to be the old standbys that we all hope to be protected from, but these little pests seems to find their way through some of the data protection devices that we install.
All of these problems can be averted by subscribing to the right online backup storage facility. One of the things that you'll want to do before you select any one of these is look for the ones that suits you company's particular needs. There are many of these places on the market today and there are a few things that can tip you off about their reputation.
First off have a look at the testimonials on their website to see if they've got glowing reports that are verifiable. There's no use in looking at a firm that uses fake testimonials or has what appears to be a shady affiliate plan. Remember that the right data protection service is a combination of several things. - 16039
