This week I finished up the Computer Hardware topic. As a partner in a small business in Jacksonville we are trying to be paperless, so we are storing a lot of information on an external hard drive right now. When ever we recieve any invoice it gets scanned and saved in the proper folder. What else is making this process easier, businesses that we deal with direct offer online services to view our invoices and recieve them via e-mail rather than mail. While this is becoming the trend to be paperless, the issue of backing up is becoming more important than ever. If you were to lose all that data now you do not have a paper trail to fix it.
Being a small business at this point we do not have all that much funding for tape back up. We are relying on online backup. This is becoming a popular method for individuals and businesses. The monthly or annual fee for these services is pennies on the dollar compare to any of the other backup methods talked about in the lectures. Carbonite is one of the options that cost $60 a year for unlimited backup capacity. This method requires almost no human interaction on your behalf. Once you setup you can set scheduled backups, or you can run manually. This allows you to focus on more of your business needs. This is a great way to backup your business and personal needs for a low cost.
