It's always interesting to me as a small and medium business Information Technology provider how many times business owners and/or managers take their company's data for granted. Many times while working with potential new clients we take a look at their networks and systems for an evaluation just so the business owners can get a feel for what types of problems they may be unknowingly facing and many times the biggest issue in our eyes is the lack of appropriate data backups.

The problem with todays world of supersized USB hard drives and flash drives is business owners feel that these devices are designed to be good backup devices. While you can copy data to them relatively easily the fact is they are very poor substitutes for a real backup system. The problem with USB hard drives and flash drives is that they can be very risk to rely on in the event of a failure or data loss. Many times users just copy data to them and expect them to work, what they fail to realize is a proper back strategy requires the testing of backups to ensure not only that the data on them is good but that it is even able to be recovered at all. Many times these types of devices can have failures causing data to become corrupt, without a appropriate testing process when that data is needed, it may not actually be available. The only way to ensure it will work when your entire business is counting on it is by testing it. At ABC Computer Solutions we offer several tiers of backup options to ensure even the smallest of businesses can have great, tested, and reliable backups.
