To do a data backup is not the question, the question is how and what to backup!

DIY-Computer-Repair can help!

For normal day to day operations you should backup any files that were changed for that business day.

External 2.5" USB Hard DriveYou should backup all your data either on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, depending on how much data you generate or how much you change your data.

A person or business that only changes a word doc or spread sheet once a week wouldn't back it up daily.

A person or business that has constantly changing documents should backup daily. A backup is only as good as the last time it was accomplished, in other words if you don't backup on a regular or scheduled basis then any data you generated between the backup and the recovery will be lost. Backup regularly on a schedule!!

Where to backup your data to? Well this depends on how much data you have. Say you have a small business. Your business uses email and spread sheets and occasionally a word document. Your total daily generated data may be ten meg of data. This of course is to large for a floppy.
