We have a management consulting and executive development firm.  We use our computers for regular communication with our clients, record-keeping, planning, presentations and many other things.  Once in the past we lost all of our email program’s content.  It had taken years to develop those records and we had to start again from ground zero.  Not only did we have to ask clients for their information again, we potentially lost business through not being able to contact past clients.  We’ve lived the statistics about how devastating it is to have major data loss.  We feel a great deal of comfort knowing that we can be back up and running quickly if anything were to happen, including losing a laptop or having it stolen, as well as other fiascos that delete program content.  It’s also a great feeling to see the icon pop up that says our back up is complete – a daily reassurance that all is well.  Thanks, IT Squad!
