A Note From Jim
Are You Ready for A Disaster?
There’s a lot of coverage in the news right now about an approaching hurricane… a “disaster” that will ______ (fill in the blanks).
But I’ve learned the hard way over the years that something like that represents a small minority of the disasters we face in the digital age… most of which can be eliminated or mitigated with consistent backups of data and a good surge protector.
Here’s a small list of potential disasters for which you shouldn’t need the government’s reminder to get ready:
- Lightning strike or power surge
- Dropping your phone on the floor (or in the toilet)
- Stolen computer or phone
- Burst pipe in your ceiling that rains on your electronics
- Spilled cup of coffee on your keyboard
Don’t let a disaster strike and derail, cripple, or even destroy your business… even on a sunny day.
Make sure you back up all your data files and then automatically back up any new files / changed files daily, including:
- your word processing documents
- spreadsheets
- databases of names and addresses
- digital photos
- ebooks
- downloaded software you don’t have installation disks for
- any data files for specific programs you use (like QuickBooks, etc.)
- copies of your remote files / websites / funnel pages stored on someone else’s server
Also, make sure you have all your important electronics plugged into a really good surge protector (preferably with battery backup).
Don’t learn your lesson the hard way… and don’t let a sudden disaster go from minor inconvenience to life-altering event in the blink of an eye because you didn’t take basic precautions.

PS – If you didn’t see it, I also did a video about how you can prepare for the worst that’s far more likely than a natural disaster. See what I mean here.
