Backup has been a hot topic in the ComputerWorld Blogs since July 31st, prompted by the saga of Joel, who lost the customer’s data on July 28th.
I sympathize with Joel, because I’ve lost customer data too—though in my case I had made a backup, but it didn’t work. Apart from the probability of losing both your client and your fee, losing someone else’s data is guaranteed to make you feel even worse than losing your own data.
And even IT professionals neglect to back up their data sometimes, as the CW bloggers admit. When was the last time you backed up yours?
