The truth is that most companies do have some sort of Exchange backup program,Why Exchange Backup Programs Are So Important Articles but that doesn't mean that they have it running. In fact, studies show that less than one half of all companies have a reliable and recent backup ready, should something happen to their data.

The good news is that there are now quality programs available that make it a lot easier for the average IT employee to not only backup the information, but also to recover it in an emergency.

Your employee's payroll is on there, in addition to a lot of other confidential information.
