Nancy asks…
I need IT backup/storage advice!?
I’m getting more and more weary that we aren’t backing up our computers at work and that I really need to find a good solution that doesn’t cost a fortune, yet still leaves the data readily available for quick access…
We’re only a small budget so I don’t really want to buy a tape drive etc. (Aren’t they old tech now anyway?)
Is it worth getting a Blueray Recorder? some sort of NAS? Stick to DVD-Rs?
Do hard drives keep the data on them for many years even if they aren’t plugged in? Can they be kept in box without the data deteriorating?
Any helpful advice warmly welcomed!
Thanks,
Ben
PS – We’ve got about 500GB to backup!! so that’s a LOT of DVD-Rs… hence wondering if a couple of 1TB HDDs are the way to go!!!

Jere answers:
You could use a couple of TB HDD, however most Business dont use hard copy backups in case of theft. It all depends what work needs to be backed up. The best thing to use is online storage, then if anything goes wrong or you need to access info from somewhere else in the world etc then its easy to do and you dont have to take physical backups.
You can find lots of online storage sites for small Business that would be cheaper than buying HDD etc. Do your research and try and look at reviews

Mary asks…
External hard drive for small business–any suggestions?
I’m thinking of getting my husband an external hard drive for Christmas. He runs his own business, and does a lot of work on his computer. He stores client information, spreadsheets, images, videos, website administration info, etc. My dad was telling me that an external hard drive could automatically save all new data periodically, and I’m thinking it would be great for my husband to have one.
The problem is that I know nothing about them. What should I look for? I don’t want to pay for more than he’ll need, but don’t know enough about computers to pick one. Advice would be very welcome!

Jere answers:
You should buy him a Western Digital External Hard Drive. A 500GB is a lot of storage and inexpensive. The nicer ones have a button (One Touch Backup OTB) but they are kind of gimmicky. Amazon has one, but you can also wait for sales from your local office supply store (Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy, Circuit City). But this onlly prevents problems with hardware when the computer might die.
You also need to get him a free subscription to Mozy. It is free online backup up to 2GB. Mozy is nice because keeps “versions” of your document, so if you need to retrieve his spreadsheet from one week ago, you can do that through Mozy. Using an external hard disk wouldn’t help you going to previous copies (unless you kept multiple folders with different dates — kinda confusing). Anyway, if you store more than 2GB Mozy will charge you. So, maybe your husband can just backup his most important stuff up to 2GB online and put everything else on the external hard drive.
Total cost under $100 out the door.
