On-Server Redundancy - Data redundancy is the best tool in the toolbox for data disaster recovery. Basically, the more copies you have of your data, the safer the data is. Next week I’ll add more to this idea with RULE #5 – Rotational Backups, but this week, the rule focuses on automatic redundancy at the server level. On-Server Redundancy can take on different forms, but the most common is called a RAID. Depending on who you ask, RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. The idea being that you have more than one physical hard drive hooked to your server, and the server automatically manages the drives to create copies of each other.

Single Location Data Storage - In the coming weeks, we’ll talk about the importance of having your data in different places, but this week, we’re going to talk about the importance of having your data in one place. Don’t worry, it’ll make sense when we get to those. Rule #4 boils down to having a server where everyone stores their data files. 16% of all hard drives suffer from some sort of data loss every year … that’s about 1 out of every 6 hard drives. Therefore, if you have important data on every computer in your business, your chances of loosing data on one of them goes up dramatically. In fact, if you have 6 or 7 computers in your business, statistically, you will loose data on one of them every year!

That’s what a firewall is intended to do for your computers. If you don’t have a good firewall it’s much easier for unwanted predators to access your computers.
