Electrical Tip of the Day: Electronic data back-up with ioSafe

February 22, 2011 by Chris Voglund

What’s on your hard drive?

When was the last time you made a backup copy?

As a small business owner it’s important to keep my customer records, financials and projects that sit on my computer backed up. More and more we rely on our digital communications and trust our precious data to our computer hard drives every single day. What most people fail to realize is that computer hard drives are mechanical, eventually they will fail. That said; the majority of small business owners and consumers never realize how important it is to backup until it’s too late.

At Artisan Electric we trust our data on ioSafe hard drives. We backup vital business information, family photos and even videos as do many other local businesses here in town. The experts agree and everyone from PCWorld  to MacWorld has great things to say too. As such, we have compiled a list of some of the best reviews so you can be the judge and draw your own conclusions.
