Reminder: ‘Maxell Fall Backup Day’ – Avoid the Ultimate Fright

– Construct a Backup Schedule: Once you have fully evaluated your
system and files to ensure that everything to date has been
recorded, it is crucial to continue with daily, weekly, monthly,
and yearly backups to keep new data current and backed up as
changes occur. — Consider all data devices: With technology being the framework
around which most businesses and homes operate, your storage backup
practice should include all data producing devices. This includes
all moving parts of your business and everyday life; laptops,
mobile phones, blackberries, PDAs, and home office computers. — Think You’re Secure? Check Again: Most people rely heavily on
electronic equipment to protect them from data loss, but it is also
important to remember that backup tools are not always 100%
reliable. Double-checking your backup tapes every few months to
ensure the information is recorded correctly and remains undamaged
is fundamental to the process. A scratch can completely ruin
individual documents, or make entire media unreadable. – Identify Potential Problems: Maxell’s new Linear Tape-Open (LTO)
