Business Checks

If you are running a company that requires alot of servers, its always a good idea to make sure you have a back up plan if they fail. I had encountered a problem with a vendor that their system failed, and their back up plan…..well….it wasn’t initiated at all. Most of their system and their .com was down. It had affected thousands of customers. Those customers made blogs and instant web pages talking and trashing what they had done and how it had affected their business. You couldnt even get into your admin, or the store front.

So having a backup plan for your IT department is always a good idea. IF your servers have a backup, it should be easy to transfer to the backups and continue running, so you’ll have min impact on others that run their business. I know i lost a few thousands with the mishaps that happened. I know that i have a backup plan with my Peachtree Quantum by sage accounting program. I back it up every night, and that back up has a backup.
