Data Backup and Recovery | Prescott, AZ

Posted on by admin

In this day and age, companies rely so heavily on online usage, it is important to have a data backup and recovery plan for their most critical data. Why? Because humans make errors, computers crash, and accidents happen at the worst times.

Data loss can happen in many different ways and we shouldn’t live by the idea that we can wing it. The most common causes are an accidental error, employee or competitor theft, or physical failure to computers, but they can range into the even wilder, like natural disasters or a spilled cup of coffee. Here are six reasons why you must have data recovery for your company.

Technology fails. Just in the last year, we’ve seen massive changes in the technology that we use. Many businesses are now virtually paper-free and need to be stored electronically.

People are fallible. Let’s face it, we’re only human. Backing up your information is crucial in order to remedy any accidental mishaps.

Natural disasters. From tornados to wildfires, mother nature has wreaked havoc on company technology systems. It will be an issue if you don’t have a data backup and recovery plan in place after a natural disaster.

Competitive advantage. Businesses around the world have suffered huge losses and reputation damage after losing data.

Theft. Sadly, corporate theft is on the rise. If employees were fired or laid off, 20% said they would be more likely to take data due to the anger they’re experiencing and pass it off to a competitor.

The future is now. An online backup service allows you to and your employees to access your data whenever you like, from wherever you are to work remotely, collaborate, and ensure the integrity of that information.

What To Do If You Have a Power Outage | Prescott, AZ

Posted on by admin

Is your computer system prepared to withstand the fall out from a power outage? Power outages and electricity pikes can place the computer system into “shock”, causing it to lose your files.

If you do experience a power surge or outage, we recommend attempting to save and properly shut down your computer before the battery gives out. If you can do this, it is less likely that your files and information will be lost. If your system is impacted by a power issue, seek a computer specialist. The experts at Up and Running are always available to answer your questions and restore your computer.

If your computer is not yet equipped to remain stable during power surges or outages, we recommend an Uninterruptible Power Supply. A UPS is a backup power supply that kicks in when the flow of electricity when the voltage drops. Investing in a UPS will give you peace of mind, and time to save your files and turn off the device. It very well could save your business’ vital documents and you from costly repairs.

Another benefit of a UPS for your system is that it remains active even if you aren’t with your device at the time of a power outage. It will shut down your device and help get it started again.

Having a backup plan for when the power goes out is an important consideration. The professionals at Up and Running Computer Solutions understand what your business means to you and want to help you prepare for the worst.
