Data
loss is serious business
|
|
The most important step a person
can take to safeguard his or her data is to back it up.
Everything breaks! Data backup or duplication allows you
to come quickly back on line without the heartbreak of data
loss and the expense of recovery. External hard disks have
fallen in price enough to be practical for backups. Uninterruptible
power supplies may keep a stray power spike from destroying
data.

solution. But they are great for temporary storage of smaller
quantities of data, or for transporting data from home to
office, or wherever you need to go. |

Uninterruptible Power
Supplies (UPS)
Power surges, loss, and spikes are
major sources of computer failure. Inexpensive power strips
do not adequately protect your computer or your data from
the vagaries of the modern power grid. A UPS isolates your
computer from fluctuating voltages, and feeds it from a battery
that is constantly charging. If the power does go out, the
battery will last long enough to allow you to gracefully shut
the system down and diminish the chance of a fatal crash.
