Shadow File Copy
If
you are using standard Windows Networking called (peer to peer) your
business files are at risk of un-authorised interference, accidental
deletion or wrongly saved new document loosing the original. In a basic
network environment if a user accidentally deletes a file or folder it would be lost forever, there is no Recycle bin on a network system. With

Version you want to restore.

Blackberry and Windows mobile
Take
a Blackberry or Windows mobile on the road with you and you have 24 hour
access to all your Outlook data, email, calendar, contacts and tasks.
Although with experience and costs we now only recommend Windows Mobile
to access your Exchange server. Blackberry works well although with
Windows Mobile 5, you can do more than with Blackberry and at a fraction
of the cost.

presents your email to Internet Explorer or any other web browser
allowing you so send, receive your email as well as looking up and
editing contacts and calendar.

Take
documents home to work or be available when visiting customers on your
laptop. When returning to the office or connecting to the server via VPN

created away from the business. Should your laptop be stolen it is a
simple task to connect the replacement to the server and re-synchronise
your files and never loose any company data.

folder, sent to a printer, or even sent as email to chosen users in your

Back-Up solutions
Install a tape drive or portable hard drive onto your server and sleep
secure in the knowledge should your business suffer a fire, flood,
hardware fail or theft you have a copy of your business off-site which
can be restored onto new hardware to continue your business. Very soon
under the Governments 'business continuity' laws due to come into force
businesses will have to prove they have a disaster recovery procedure,
this solution with fully comply with these laws. Insurance companies are
now refusing to pay out on loss of earnings against loss of company data
saying that you should have had a proper back up regime. The Tax and VAT
office will also no longer accept loss of data as a reason to not pay
them and possibly leave you open to a fine.

RAID Array Hard Drives
By using RAID which put simply mirrors
the files and data on the server over two or more drives means should a
drive fail your business carries on until such time as the faulty drive
has been replaced.
If you currently have a network share
environment using a single PC, have you considered what would happen to
your business should that single hard drive failed especially if it is
not backed up?
