Should You Install a SQL Backup Application?

One of the most common reasons why companies turn to their SQL backup is because of simple user error. Someone makes a mass change that destroys a vast amount of data and there is nowhere else to go but the backup. Someone could also do something a little more intentionally that could put all of the company's data at risk.

Viruses, spamware, adware, and millions of other pieces of software can invade the safety of your network, but you also shouldn't forget about the potential for a natural disaster or some type of physical disaster taking place in your office. It is not at all unusual for someone to spill a cup of coffee on their laptop, destroying it and everything connected to it. A small plumbing problem, an electrical surge, a leak, or a fire could be enough to destroy your entire company and if you don't have a SQL backup waiting for you, there is no knowing what will happen to you or your company.

You will find that the latest backup packages are extremely easy to use and that they enable you to automatically backup all of your information without you having to bring the server down or even be on site. Because of this, there is really no excuse at all for not backing up anymore. If you value your data and the security of your job, then you should remind yourself once again how important having a valid backup is at all times.
