Most businesses only find out their backups don’t work on the day they need them. Here are three warning signs to check this week.
1. Nobody Checks the Backup Reports
If the nightly report goes to an inbox nobody reads, a failed backup can go unnoticed for months.
2. You’ve Never Tested a Restore
A backup is only as good as the restore. Pick one file and one server each quarter and bring them back.
3. Everything Is in One Place
A backup in the same office as the server is lost in the same fire or flood. Keep a copy off site.
