THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A SUPPORT SYSTEM

How much does your information and work you have on your PC? Where to buy the photos of those wonderful holiday you spent or that party so much fun? What do you do if the project would pay huge dividends to your business, away from nowhere? The value of our information often exceeds the cost of equipment, unfortunately when we learn that lesson is too late.
We recommend that no matter if the machine is portable or desktop, perform a backup or backup data regularly. Because if you think for a moment than the material value that has the team and our information is quantifiable and time invested in it are a great price. Moreover when the work environment, loss of information means not only time that is measurable and valued, but we can also lose customers and therefore enough money. There is a significant percentage of companies worldwide for claims problems of fire, flood, viruses, power failures and oversights, have lost all their information and have no backups are those within the company in safe places or out of these, as companies have simply disappeared.

If we want to avoid terrible headaches due to the loss of our information must follow the following tips:

• Support regular information on CD, DVD, external drive or Pen. Any of these mass storage devices have the function of support, but do you use? Depends 100% on the amount of information they need to do a backup and a mechanism was used, whether it is manual or automatic.

• Supporting information that is important and what is not according to your recovery, too. This is because today is not so important but at the least expected moment you need it. A very important fact is that whenever information is important, whatever it is you have on your PC, because if not, does not make sense to store it in your computer, and less to spend time searching, purchase or generate .

• Always fully support the following folders on your PC or Notebook:

◦ The "My Documents" in its entirety. Here most of the existing programs store their information. In this folder is always the default, where information is stored Word, Excel, PowerPoint, music, pictures, videos, etc.

◦ The "Favorites" folder in its entirety. Here are stored Internet addresses when you manually save are important to maintain.

◦ The folder "Outlook" in the case of postal system for those using Microsoft Outlook. When one supports this folder, is backing the contacts, mail, tasks, calendar, etc.
• Create a backup of the PC used by a Ghost. This mechanism generates an identical disk image and allows that after a disaster strikes, the PC can be fully recovered within minutes, including operating system and programs or software. A Ghost is how to support operating systems (eg Windows XP and programs eg Word) and can be stored in DVD or external drives with the ability to recover fully at the time of the generation of Ghost.

• Have installed a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). This system is a device that provides stability in the electrical flow to the PC or devices such as printers, scanners. Its function is to prevent electric shock both high and low, and also serves as the primary feed energy stored in their batteries once interrupts the flow of electricity, the various devices connected to it for a few minutes. Thus, it prevents an implement to be burned by a shock or not reaching record information and therefore, lose or damage the hard disk. There are different UPS market according to customer needs. There is from some autonomy that lasts about 10 minutes to some that last for hours.
