Don’t Lose Your Business To Loss
So you’ve invested a great deal of effort in growing the online business you’ve built. You know the difficulty in building a successful online business and established, or new, just how many things you have to keep track of. Only you know the endless hours of work at the beginning, the amount of money invested and the sacrifices you had to make to make your business a reality.Is it possible that all of a sudden you can lose it all?
Unfortunantly, yes is the answer.A seemingly small action on your part can wipe out everything you’ve worked so hard to build.Since you have an online business, I’m sure you’ve seen first hand (or at least the effects of) a server crash, hacker attacks, corrupted databases, and even uploading bad versions of a site.Let alone having the system you build and run your business with fail due to a virus, disk failure, or any other tragic event.
You might be doing everything right and don’t have to worry about anything. But keeping up with it all is tough when your one person company. Especially when its comes to technical detail when your expertise is your business and not computer minutia.
How do you protect your business and yourself? Do you keep multiple copies, leave it up to your host, manually back it up. But you have several sites, on several hosts (which are likely running Linux), with the master and working copies all on your computer (which is likely is a Windows or MAC system). How do you protect all of that hard work?
It’s simple really, use Internet Attached Storage.The best services will run on dedicated servers, your home/work systems, and even some shared hosting accounts as well… With a single login for it all allowing you to use, modify, and restore data from anywhere.You can take advantage of lowered costs because of the demand of home users for online backup. More and more online businesses are using Internet Attached Storage for backup of their dedicated servers, shared hosts, and work/home pc’s. And for good reason.
What you need to look for is a provider of Internet Attached Storage with advanced features.The features most needed are multi-platform (working with MAC, Windows, and Linux).That minimal bandwidth is required.That is to say, only subsequent changes are backed up after the initial upload.And that copies of your changes are kept online (versioning) by default. The last consideration is that they provide value for the dollar.Don’t be led astray with “unlimited” backup at a fixed price.You’ll quickly discover that the Terms of Service for many providers will limit how much you can backup.
So you can lose it all if your data (blogs, stores, websites) are destroyed by viruses, hackers, or hardware failures. But now with Internet Attached Storage you can backup all your sites and systems with a single account easily, quickly, and affordably.
