Back Up What does it mean? The definition of "Back Up" in the dictionary means "extra" or "stand by." The example given is "back up pilot." Let's say you were on an airplane with one pilot and that pilot had a heart attack and suddenly died. Would you be in trouble? How could your organization function if everyone's email, word processing documents and contact database were destroyed by virus or catastrophic event? How many hours or days would it take to reconstruct that information? Why is it important? Like having a co-pilot, backing up your data regularly is vital insurance against a data disaster. Unfortunately, this is a lesson that most people learn only from a traumatic experience. Developing a solid backup plan requires some investment of time and money, but the cost is far less than the task of recreating data for which no backup exists! Resources OneNorthWest:
