Where is My Backup?

In today’s time more than ever, it is so important to make sure your data is backed up. With the trend for “Work From Home” and “Software As A Service”, the first challenge is to know where your data is.

In the good old days, all data and applications were located on the “Servers” so if you had a good server and backup system, you were golden. But nowadays with data strewn across Home Computers, Laptops, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, G-Suite, Office365 and so on, it is the first task to try and identify where your data is located then deciding what the appropriate backup method and retention time would be.

Be sure to take your time and do a little planning to investigate the policies of all vendors who might have access to your data, you never know what you might find!
