2. Are you storing the backup in a good location (not on the server itself)
3. When was the last time you checked that the backup process was running correctly
4. Have you ever checked/tested the backup to make sure it's valid
Call us today to set up a consultation on what you can do to make sure your information is safe and backed up if anything happens to your server.
