Backups are copies of websites, databases, e-mail and files that allow a business to recover after hardware failure, human error, hacking or a bad update. A backup is only useful if it is recent, stored separately from the original and actually tested for restoring. Many companies discover missing or broken backups only on the day they need them. A clear schedule and retention period turn backups from a hope into a plan. Internet Solutions hosts websites on its own servers with regular backups, made from the day a site goes live; larger hosting plans keep more recent copies. Our IT maintenance service sets up data backups for office computers and servers, and we recover lost data from hard drives and portable media. Server administration includes keeping backup routines running for Linux and Windows systems.
