Are you putting all your storage backup eggs in one basket? Better keep an eye on the backup basket.

We’ve all been there. You’ve got all your favorite photos, your contacts, your banking info, and more on your phone. After all, you take it with you everywhere you go, and there’s a lot of important stuff you need at your fingertips. And then you drop it. Or lose it. Or take it swimming. Oops.

But what about your business? Most businesses start up with a PC and a laptop or two and keep everything they need to survive on it as they grow. How could that impact your business? Ask yourself these questions:

• How much critical information is stored on laptops, smart phones, and tablets? Which ones? Is it all available to everyone, all the time?
• What if a laptop were lost or stolen, or what if our main PC crashes?
• Do we routinely back up all files, apps, and data, including those on personal devices?
• How long would it take us to recover if we lost some or all of our data?

If you’re keeping customer and employee files, A/R, contracts, sales presentations, emails, and so on, on a laptop, a couple of networked PCs, or spread among multiple mobile devices, you could be dealing with a lot of broken eggs. How long will it take you to put everything back together again? Better ask all the king’s horses and all the king’s men.

But let’s go back to your cell phone. These days, all that info is automatically backed up, so you’re not out of luck for too long. You just go pick out a new phone and all your stuff “magically” reappears. Wouldn’t it be great if you could do that for your business?
