Questions you need to ask yourself:
- How often do we back up our data and where?
- Are our data backups secure?
- For each potential cause, how long will it take to recover the data if we need it?
- What’s our plan to keep the business running in the meantime?
- When was the last time we tested our plan?
You might need:
- Continuous Backups - As often as every 15 min, on-site and off-site
- Encrypted backups in multiple remote locations
- Fast Recovery - Full restore in less than 24 hours.
- Virtualization Capability - continue doing business, even if your server is down
- Monthly or quarterly disaster recovery tests

Based on the latest projections, Hurricane Irene is headed for Rockland County. Here are a few tips that might save you from technology headaches if the storm stays on its current path: 1. Consider what documents and data that you might need if you are unable to access your workplace because of a power outage. Copy your files to a USB key or a laptop and take it home. Even if these files are available from an online disk, you may not have internet access. 2. Make a printed copy of your contact list with email addresses and cell phone numbers. Make a printed copy of your calendar for next week. You may need to reschedule appointments on the fly. If your business makes deliveries to customers or receives deliveries from suppliers, you may need to reschedule those deliveries. 3. Before you leave on Friday, agree on an emergency communication plan with your firm’s staff. How will they know if the office will be open on Monday morning? How will they know when the office will be open if not the usual time? Agree on multiple ways to communicate since phone lines may be done for some and email inaccessible for others. 4. Shut down all non-essential equipment before the storm. Hopefully you have a UPS installed for computers that run unattended, that will shut them down gracefully in the event of a power outage. However, there is no need to test this under fire. Unprotected computers may be subject to repeated power outages and voltage fluctuations that could damage them. 5. If you only back up your data to a local USB drive or NAS device, you might consider disconnecting it and taking it home or to another location. Extreme weather is one of the leading causes of site-wide equipment and data loss. Do not leave your only data backup sitting next to your server. They will likely be destroyed at the same time. Before the next big storm, investigate online data backup. It’s inexpensive and secure. 6. Parts of Rockland are prone to flooding. If you are in one of these areas, don’t leave expensive computer equipment sitting on the floor. Raise it up to reduce the likelihood of water damage. Computers really don’t like water. 7. Resolve to spend more time thinking about your business continuity plan. This is not something that you pull together in the 24 hours before a storm hits. It requires planning and careful thought, and it addresses more than just technology. It is a plan for how you will conduct your business in a variety of disaster scenarios.

To one degree or another, the vast majority of businesses today rely on technology to operate. For those that depend on it, unscheduled downtime of critical network components results in more than inconvenience and frustration. Downtime equals lost profits.
Many business owners don’t fully appreciate the costs associated with technical issues, so let’s see what an hour of server...

"When CMIT and Armando came in, he explained to me what files to look for in data backups and he showed me that they are being backed up not only on our internal systems but on external systems. We have a lot of internal backup systems, but if there is a flood or the hurricane which occurred here last tax season, a lot of accounting firms got washed out. They lost a lot of their...
"I was very scared of having anything go wrong with my computers. All my financial information for the business is on my computers, all the medical information of every patient I’ve ever taken care of is on the computers, and yes, it concerned me a lot when I thought about something crashing, or if there is a virus, or if somebody hacks into my system, what liability am I taking on....
"If someone chooses CMIT for an outsourced IT company, they are really going to find someone who has a personal relationship with their business; that they try to understand the culture of their client’s business and do their work to that standard. We are not just paying them to fix things, we are really working together to improve our business, and they were able to help us create a...
"[You can expect to] find an organization that is genuinely interested in becoming a business partner to a CFO’s business. I think they have very professional employees on staff who understand the issues of technology that must be addressed when configuring somebody’s network. They also have individuals who aren’t so tech savvy that they are not able to speak to the normal user of a...
