YOU SHOULD ALWAYS


BACK UP YOUR DATA!

Our advice:
Regularly back up the data on PCs, mobile devices, servers, and storage arrays... and rest easier at night.
Store it onsite, somewhere offsite, in the cloud, or even better: all of the above! The more backups you have
now, the less the chance you’ll be crying later.

Don’t forget:
TEST YOUR BACKUPS regularly! A backup is only good if you can retrieve data from it... and preferably
quickly.

One last note:


If you aren’t successfully backing up your world (or are unhappy with your current continuity solution),
