What would you do if you lost all your electronic data from your child care business?

As business managers, we all know the importance of backing up our electronic data. But do we? Len Andrusiak, President of GotData, an online data backup service, has seen it all. “We deal with data loss every week and believe me; it is difficult sitting down with someone who’s just lost all their data.”

So why are business owners so reluctant to do backups?“Too much effort, takes too long, too high a cost and lack of knowledge are all common excuses,” he says.“’A hard drive crash will never happen to me’, but the fact is it happens to anyone.”

Kim Tytler, Marketing and Development Manager at the Canadian Child Care Federation can attest to the simplicity of setting up this package. "It was really less than an hour of my time, in total. I couldn't believe how easy it was to install, and there is very little monthly maintenance required."

For a low monthly fee, you get worry-free data backup. “Once GotData is installed it runs automatically and alone requiring little or no management. Backups are done instantly as you work and documents are saved. “Data is stored securely off site so if your office burns or you are the victim of theft, your data is safe,” Andrusiak said.
