Ask yourself these questions:
Are you automatically backing up your system regularly?
What exactly are you backing up?
Do you know what information isn’t being backed up?
What proof do you have that you're backed up?
It is important that your system is saved regularly and often. Everyday your company makes countless changes to your data, improvised projects, contact information, accounting data, etc… all of which can cost lots of money if it’s lost.
If your backup doesn’t reflect these changes you can be
looking at many hours trying to recreate what was lost between the time
a backup was made and when restoration was needed.
Are your Backup's being tested on a regular basis?
It is just as important to test your backups to make sure they are gathering all your information. Verifying that a backup is keeping accurate information will ensure proper recovery if it is ever needed.
Are your backups stored safely? Do you have any built in redundancy?
Redundancy is important, in case something happens to one copy, your backup will not be completely lost.
It is good practice to have at least 2 copies of any backup
and they should both be kept in a separate location, at least one should be
off-site.
