Making simple copies of your data is one way to help protect your data from loss. Some people have become used to carrying their data from office to home and back on removable media. The mistake in this case would be to assume you data is safe simply because it is with you. If you're in this habit, modify it by copying your data on the removable media to one or more of your hard drives on a periodic basis. Better yet, install a tape backup in one of your machines and store the tapes at the other location.
Data copies can be a problem when the size of your data won't fit conveniently on a removable media without compression. Tape and other backup software will allow you to compress your data in a backup file that can be restored in the event of a drive failure.
Data backup is the first line of defence
to securing your files so that you can survive a hard drive failure. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this goal. If you have a local computer specialist that is working with your systems, please talk to that individual about a sensible backup program for you.
Surveying a Data Recovery: An east Texas surveying and mapping company called with a tale of woe one Thursday afternoon, noting that their IDE drive would no longer work. The hard drive contained years of work, plus CAD files for a job that was due out on the following Monday. FedEx got the drive to us the next morning. The data recovery process began around noon on Friday and went on for many hours -- well into the night. By Saturday morning -- when their anxious call arrived -- it was clear that we would be able to accomplish the recovery of the requested files. A company employee drove to Dallas as we worked feverishly to complete the job. By 5:00 PM the job was done and delivered back to the client, allowing the company to meet their Monday deadline with a municipal client.

Establish a data security routine. Nothing is better than a data backup routine, and nothing is worse than a plan without execution. Schedule your backups and make them part of your daily or weekly routine. Keep notes on the backup media containers and in a master paper record so that when disaster strikes, you'll be able to easily find the right backup media.
Novel Virus: A novelist, fast approaching a publisher's deadline, discovered that her notebook computer -- which contained all of her writing of her latest novel -- would no longer boot. Ignoring the advise of the computer manufacturer that nothing could be done, she called Internet Desk, Inc. to see what could be done. The data recovery was completely successful -- including virus removal, and the notebook computer was returned with the operating system re-installed along with all of the work done on the novel. As an added level of safety, the data files were also placed on a CD. A novel recovery.
