Don´t Forget to Backup!

Your staff is the lifeblood of your business. But let's face it, they're not usually IT professionals, are they? And they often do their work in a relatively insecure or otherwise uncontrolled environment. Perhaps your equipment is outdated, tired and susceptible to failure. Backups, assuming they are done, are of unknown quality because it's likely you've never had to restore them, much less test their integrity. They might only be done occasionally when the person remembers, and they're not stored on notoriously-unreliable floppy disks are they? And are they offsite in case of disaster, or sitting on top of the computer?

Imagine what would happen if there was a fire, their computer was stolen or damaged, or a virus wiped their hard disk at a critical time! All your data could be destroyed in an instant, or at the very least you'd be faced with potentially significant delays and extra work to get everything back up again.

There is a solution to this nightmare! Because all your CDA Grain Trader data is in a single file on your hard disk, it's easy to backup too. We highly recommend our Datagard online, secure backup service for CDA Grain Trader backups. A "set-and-forget" solution, Datagard gives your business peace of mind by securing a backup of your valuable data in a commercial offsite backup environment. Backup your database automatically (we recommend every day) using your Internet connection. It'll probably take only a few minutes at most each time, after the first. Restore your data to any backup point made in the last 30 days (by default, extendable at extra cost), quickly, easily and efficiently, to any computer - all you need is an Internet connection. Datagard is priced very reasonably too, on a monthly subscription basis that you can change or stop easily and without penalty.

You can also use Datagard to backup other files like word processor documents, spreadsheets, and even hard-to-backup data like email messages (optional at extra cost).
