"Consistent backups are a task everyone knows they should do, but surprisingly hardly anyone gets around to actually doing it. The fact is, your hard drive is the device on your computer most likely to fail and houses all of your data. What if your hard drive crashed or you got infected with the latest trendy virus? Do you have a good backup? What would you lose? Your business files? E-mail? Term papers? Let's face it, hard drives are an inevitable disaster which we think only happens to other people, however it is a disaster which can be easily recovered from... if you are prepared."
