Disaster Recovery
You know it's going to happen ...
You're sitting
down at your desk and you flip open the laptop; a light tap on the ON button
and you prepare to start your
day. Instead of seeing your operating system whiz by or your
Desktop, you hear the metallic crunch of your hard drive taking
its last gasping breath.
Panic sets in as you scream at your computer system!
CTRL-ALT-DEL ... nope, that's not working!
Your "come on, please start for me" pleas
of desperation just aren't working!
Luckily,
you've prepared for this scenario with your Disaster
Recovery Plan!
Certain things in life are inevitable:
- Death
- Cher & cockroaches surviving nuclear meltdown
- Taxes
- Davis Virtual Assistants snuffing out the competition
Just
for giggles, let's tack on one more of life's little laughs: Total
System Failure! You will experience system failure. You can prepare for it,
or you can continue to live in la-la land and hope that you'll
never fall victim to a computer meltdown.

Virtual Assistants is pleased to present our "My
Disaster Recovery Strategy" document, a free download
for all visitors to DavisVA.com. I'm a firm believer
in preparing
for the "fun" stuff
life throws at me -- you know, the sheer happiness and thrill
of having a computer that won't start!
Right-click

this PDF file to your My Documents folder, your Desktop or
some other location where you can quickly locate and print
this 2-page document.
A
Disaster Recovery Plan is a good thing, as long as you
have a plan
in place and actually use the plan! I estimate it will
take about an hour -- 60 minutes of your time -- to follow
the instructions in the "My Disaster Recovery Strategy" document.
Contact me if you need assistance. The most critical portion
of the Plan to implement is your backup routine. Take action
TODAY if you don't currently backup your files; this is critical
to the success of your business.

Virtual Assistants Recommends: iBackup
I use iBackup every day for my backups, and also depended
upon iBackup to quickly restore all my files when my laptop
failed in September 2005. Click the link below to sign-up for
your own iBackup account, and contact me if you have any questions
or need assistance.
When
you backup your files, you'll only want to backup your data
files, such as your My Documents and My Pictures folders,
your MP3 files, etc. If you need any assistance with iBackup,
call or e-mail and I'll assist you free of charge. I'm passionate
about ensuring all my clients, friends and colleagues have
a backup system in place.
