Steps to Avoid Losing Business Data

Oct 12, 2023

Data loss is a huge business problem that can be avoided by just following a few simple steps.

The data stored on your computer holds immense value, making it imperative to adopt a proactive approach in safeguarding against potential mishaps that may result in financial losses and downtime. We’ve discovered a valuable guideline from werecoverdata.com that we believe can greatly benefit you. Save yourself the trouble by implementing the following tips to fortify your data protection strategy!

Safety tips to avoid data loss

  • Always back up your data, especially when upgrading your system. Make sure that copies of your most important data are being kept off-site
  • Always turn your computer off using the operating system shut down process
  • Always use up-to-date hardware and software utilities for data security, such as virus protections and firewalls
  • Laptops should be operated on a hard and flat surface to allow proper ventilation and to avoid over heating
  • Servers should have fans, ventilation or portable air conditioning systems as close as possible to avoid operating in high temperatures.
  • Allow enough space around the external drive’s cooling fans and remove any items that may block air flow
  • Do not turn off peripheral devices while computer is on, or when disc is active
  • Drives should be stable and stationary when operating. If you have to move your computer – turn it off first
  • When touching or handling the media, make sure to avoid static electricity
  • If you hear unusual sounds coming from your computer, turn it off immediately to avoid further damage.
