Copy That: How to Manage Law Firm Data Backup

It can’t happen to you until it does. 

I’m talking about the business disaster that could strike your law firm at any moment: flood, fire, data breach, device breakdown, smoke damage, truck carrying 30000 pounds of bananas careening out of control . . . Well, you get the picture. 


Because any law firm could be struck by disaster, every law firm should develop and maintain a disaster recovery program.  And, the primary component of any disaster recovery program in a cloud-based world is an effective data backup program. 

So, here’s what you need: 

-an encrypted, physical backup drive (harddrive, thumbdrive, whateverioSafe is amazing) 
-an online, incremental backup system (like CarboniteBackBlaze or CrashPlan) 

And, you’ll need both, in case one fails. 

Make sure to test your backup, as well.  You don’t want to be trying to recover your data for the first time in an actual disaster.
