| Welcome to this month’s edition of
Protech IT News!
Data protection has always been on the top of my
priority list. Backup, Disaster Recovery, and Failover
solutions have always been available for your data
protection, as well as quick recovery options, but they
have been very expensive to implement.
Today we are able to offer Remote Backup solutions
with Quick Recovery for as little as $129 per month.
This low cost backup method provides for off-site data
storage and an on-site appliance that maintains the data
at your site as well. |
|
Remote backup is
just one way to protect yourself from the potential danger
related to hardware failure and physical interruptions at your
facility. In the event of a true disaster, the facility itself
may be damaged such that restoring your data may not be the
only worry you have. Disaster Recovery plans should be laid
out such that you understand the risk, the cost, and the
timeframe to restore and resume operations.
Talk to your Client
IT Manager, one of our Customer Service Representative, or
call me and I will be glad to discuss the differences between
the various programs. |

How to 'Undo' a Big Mistake in
Windows
By Kim Komando - Microsoft Small Business
Center
| It
used to be, back in that last century, that people
wished for a reverse time machine. This would allow them
to go back in time after they messed up their computer.
Well, Windows
XP has that time machine. And when some awful thing
gives your computer the staggers, it's easy to go back
to the day before. Or the day before that. Or last week
or last month. It's an all-too-often unused feature that
may save your bacon someday, called System Restore. Here
are four things to know about it. |

Watch What You
Install On Your Server

warning: Watch what you install on your server.
Today's
server operating systems, including Microsoft Small
Business Server 2003, are so user-friendly that you
could be left with the impression that anyone with the
ability to put a CD into a computer disk drive could
successfully deploy a new application.
That is the
wrong impression.
When it comes
to adding any new software — and particularly
third-party applications — you need to be extra vigilant
about what you're putting on your server and how you're
doing it. |
A server isn't as
forgiving as a desktop computer. Take it from someone who just
spent the better part of a week trying to recover data from a
server that had been hopelessly corrupted by several
applications that, in retrospect, were probably incorrectly
installed by yours truly.
Here are a few things I wish I had done:
