Business gone bust because computer stolen

A client backed up the data on a laptop every day. Then one day someone walked into their office and walked out with their laptop. On their laptop was their business and someone just took all the client, suppliers and employee details out the door.

But they had a backup so they are OK. They kept the backup in the laptop bag! They kept the laptop in the laptop bag! Yes, they have have no laptop and no backup as both were in the laptop bag the thief walked out of their office with.

The moral of the story. Keep backups in a safe place away from the original. Use an offsite backup system like keepitsafe on jungledisk. For as little as €30 a month your data (files) are backed up overnight using your broadband connection. No disks or tapes needed. You can also download it all again very quickly if required (like when your laptop is stolen)
