BACKING UP YOUR DATA

Why should I back up my data?

You should backup your data to prepare for the improbable. It is imperative
that a backup plan be implemented. A backup will save your data in the case
an unrecoverable error or a total system failure. Having a backup will enable
you to begin where you left off and prevent large amounts of data loss. If an
error or disaster occurs and you do not have a backup it makes it difficult for
us to help you recover any data, which would be prevented had a backup
plan been implemented.

When should up back up be performed?

A backup should be performed at least once a day, either in the morning
or after the day is completed (End of Day).

What type of backup plan should be implemented?

Backups should be performed once daily, meaning seven times a week. We
suggest 7 disks (zip disks or CD-RWs) for each day of the week. These
disks should be rotated for each day of the week. An eighth disk for month
end data.

What type of backup drive should I purchase?

It is suggested that either an Iomega Zip Drive® be purchased or a CD-RW
drive. If purchasing an Iomega Zip Drive we recommend a capacity of at
least 250mb. When purchasing a CD-RW, we recommend purchasing
