| How You Can Avoid My Data Recovery Nightmare |
| By: John R. Barker |
Many subjects related to your work might be more fun, more sexy. Who wants to talk about data backups, disaster preparedness and data recovery?
I sure didn't.
But, a disturbing thought kept popping into my head for days . . .
"You better spend Wednesday . . . Thursday . . . Friday . . . backing up your hard drive."
Did I listen to that intuition?
Just a couple of weeks prior I begrudgingly sat through a presentation on disaster preparedness for small businesses.
It was a great presentation, actually. I learned a lot. I knew it was a weak spot in my business. But priority number one?
So back to present past time:
It was 12:30 AM on Saturday night / Sunday morning. Sitting on my couch in the living room, I closed the lid on my laptop - the core of my business and family income.
Five hours later, at 5:30 AM, I woke to the frantic screams of my wife. "John, the kitchen is on fire! Oh my god, our house is on fire!"
We lost everything.
Including my laptop and a lot of precious information. Email addresses, new projects, software, my audio library. Customer testimonials, purchase records, receipts, passwords, bookmarks and more.
Fortunately a lot of it was backed up. Well, at least the guts of my business. But if it had been backed up better, I'd have saved myself a lot of headaches and a LOT of money.
It's easy to put off subjects like data recovery, data backups and disaster preparedness. There are more pressing things to be done, and what are the odds? Right? When you consider the many things that can happen to your data, regular data backups are just smart.
Don't get burned like I did - be prepared.
