The Flint IT technicians recently received a call from a customer, Sonia*, who had deleted Sage accountancy software from her company’s server by mistake whilst clearing up some outdated files. Sage is essential to the business operations of her company, and would have caused a massive drop in business continuity if it was permanently lost.

Despite this Sonia wasn’t worried as she knew that we provide computer backup, and that our advanced computer backup solutions can be trusted. Not only do we provide computer backup for our customers, we also use monitoring tools to check the computer backup daily, ensuring that it is backing up correctly and that any problems are fixed as soon as we spot them.

Because of this Sonia had total confidence that we could recover the lost files for her, which we did within minutes from the computer backup which had been created just 2 hours earlier. Sonia and her staff were able to continue working with only a few minutes delay.

All of our customers have this same peace of mind, knowing that our computer backups are secure and that our systems are configured to run a backup every 4 hours. If your company doesn’t have this standard of backup you are at a high risk of losing the data which is essential for the day-to-day running of your business.

You may have a computer backup and disaster recovery solution but is it fool proof? Do you know that it is monitored 24 hours a day and that any problems will be fixed as soon as they are spotted? Have you run a test to check that you can recover from backup quickly and that all your files are being backed up correctly?

If not it is vitally important for the future of your business that you do so. A server crash without a proper backup plan could cost you weeks, and you may never recover all of your data.

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the Flint IT backup and disaster recovery plan, please contact us at sales AT flint-it DOT com or call 0845 3309680.
