Viruses do damage
Files get deleted and infected because of viruses. It is important to protect your information by backing up data and using antivirus software.

Hard drives fail
People often think that their data is safe on a desktop or laptop hard drive, but that is wrong. Hard drives fail at some point. It can happen gradually, or you can lose everything at once.

Power fluctuation
Power outages happen and could happen while you’re working on a big document that you forgot to save. Be safe by backing up early and often.

Your business depends on contacts
Business contacts’ email, phone number and mailing addresses that are saved on your computer can be lost if you do not back up your data. How long will it take to compile all that information again?

Most employees need to work on documents
You could lose important documents if you do not back up your data, interfering with your business and costing you time and money.

Your calendar may be affected
If you rely on a CRM or Microsoft Outlook to manage your daily appointments, you could lose all your meetings and dates.

Your computer may be stolen or damaged
