Backup Solutions Guide - MKS Toolkit

Overview Data loss is a real and significant problem in today's computing environments and can occur for a variety of different reasons. Hardware failure, virus attacks, theft, and even natural disasters can cause organizations to lose considerable amounts of their most valuable asset, not to mention the loss in employee productivity during the time it takes to restore or recreate the information.

A good back up solution should be an essential component of your administrative infrastructure. It can minimize down time and preserve the integrity of your data. It is not a matter of if you back up your systems but rather a matter of what data you should back up, what tools you should use to do it, and how you use those tools.
