Effective
Data Recovery Starts With File Backups
By - Albin Conley
Without computers today’s society
would grind to a halt. With this in mind file corruption or loss can be
disastrous! Unfortunately computers do tend to detrimentally affect almost
everyone using them, in some way at some time. If people are unprepared for
times when computers appear to malfunction they can end up spending a lot of
time, effort and money. Specialists in data recovery and/ or data recovery
software programmes are not cheap!
This article’s basic first step of
backing up data is quick, easy and painless enough to do. Occasionally the worst
can happen, data is actually irretrievably lost. Stress is what we want to
avoid! Amongst many associated problems (e.g. health), stress can lead to poor
decision making, which for some businesses or job situations could prove fatal.
Knowledge and timely adherence to a basic file backup protocol really will make
your life easier in the long run.
The age-old adage that 'prevention is
better than the cure' is very much an important point with respect to the
recovery of data. By simply backing up your data frequently in a sensible,
logical, easy to find location you are able to hugely improve your efficiency at
finding a solution to a data loss crisis. Following this advice, backing up
original data habitually is a relatively straightforward affair, achievable in
very little time.
Computer files can be backed up onto any
of the wide selection of media available for purchase today, e.g. CDs, external
or internal hard drives, DVDs, tape drives or specifically designed removable
media such as the Iomega REV drive. Optical media usage (e.g. DVD's, CD's) is
believed to be far less reliable in terms of a backing-up data. This media tends
to be highly prone to surface errors.
The advantages and disadvantages (e.g.
capacity/ ease of use) of each specific media form should be chosen with regards
to your personal situation. Importantly each media type will generally perform
well, its best to try and stick to the media type that you find works best.
A fair few reliable back-up programmes
are in existence, one of the most well acknowledged comes with Microsoft Windows
back-up software. Microsoft Windows XP users will know this programme as
NTBackup. If your computer doesn't already have this installed all you have to
do is simply place your Windows CD in your computer disc drive and find the file
called 'ValueAdd\MSFT\ntbackup'.
This is a file can that can then be run
in the folder with which it was originally found, i.e. ntbackup.msi. Rapidly
this file will create the backup software you require, wizards ever present to
help lead you through the file backup and restoration protocol.
Once the backup software is installed
and fully functional it is imperative that you make use of it on a constant
basis. Making backups of your work should be done at least once daily ideally.
If at all possible a separate backup drive or disc should be used for every day
of the week. This will provide that extra added security and peace of mind,
allowing you to concentrate on more pressing issues. The majority of businesses,
from large to small new ventures, adopt this basic and also fundamental data
loss prevention method, and for a very good reason, it really works!
