PROTECTING THE RIGHT DATA?

You’re ready to purchase a BDR. You’ve done all the research, found a company you trust, and feel excited to finally gain peace of mind. Now, you start thinking about exactly what you need to back up. Do you need all your data, or can you free up some server space? Most businesses choose to back up everything just in case but sometimes the cost makes that difficult.

Your BDR solution determines what data you store, what you exclude, and how often you back it up. Today’s tech world offers three backup types: direct-to-cloud services, software-based products, and hybrid systems that combine on-site hardware and software with the cloud. Your choice affects how much data you can back up, how you segment it, how often you back it up, whether you use full or incremental backups, and how easily you access it. You don’t always need to back up everything daily, but you should consider a few key areas.


1. FINANCIAL DATA

Back up all credit card transactions and receipts. Let your accounting software monitor and automatically save this data. Include invoicing, receivables, payroll, and anything tied to your finances. Financial records matter losing even one invoice could seriously impact your business.


2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Secure all intellectual property. Unless you store your secret recipe in a vault like Coca-Cola or KFC, make sure you back up everything that gives you a competitive edge. Back up hackable or sensitive data daily to prevent compromise.


3. CLIENT FILES AND CRM DATA

Back up all client files. Protecting this information builds trust and prevents damage to your reputation. Also, save your client and prospect lists everything in your CRM. You invest time building these lists for marketing. Losing them ranks among the top reasons businesses fail within six months of a data loss.


4. PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS

Back up all project management software. Preserve your daily workflows and communication trails to maintain progress and accountability if data loss occurs.
