If you have your own SQL server running, then you should understand how important it is to make sure that it is fully backed up at all times. You never know when something will happen to your data and if you don't have a SQL backup, you will regret it.

The good news is that installing and operating a SQL backup is one of the easiest things you could ever do,What You Should Know About SQL Backup Articles and it is certainly a lot easier than setting up the server in the first place. This simple piece of software can be run by virtually anyone in your IT department, and will be the least expensive piece of insurance that you ever buy.

When you buy your SQL backup, make sure that you are buying a package that is easy to use, that makes restoring data simple as well, and that will store your backups on a remote location (i.e. in the cloud). By doing this, your data will always be safe from whatever has happened at your office location. When your data or your entire computer system is wiped out by a storm, a fire, water damage, or theft, your backup will be sitting in a separate location, safe as can be.

With the inexpensive price of backup programs these days, there is no reason why a company should be without this type or application. In fact, not having a backup could leave you open to lawsuits, especially if your customers' information is lost, your employee files are destroyed, or your accounting and billing information is not available for the auditors. Keeping a good backup handy will be the best thing you ever do.
