Backing Up HandiSoft
It is alarming to note the number of clients we come across that do not take backups of their data or do not have a structured backup regime.
We cannot emphasise enough the importance of making regular backups and ensuring that you are able to restore the data should you ever need it.
Consider all of the staff hours that you have invested in your computer data and all of the hours that would be lost if this data needed to be recreated. In the light of this, the amount of time, effort, and cost associated with backing up your computer system is minimal.
We recommend you take backups as follows:
- Prior to initial installation and upgrade.
- Once a day (this is a minimum recommended situation).
- Weekly copy
- Monthly copy
- Three monthly copy
- Six monthly copy
We strongly suggest that your weekly, monthly, three monthly and six monthly backups be kept in a safe place off your business premises. This is particularly relevant in the case of fire and theft.
