What about my network or external hard drive?

Some important questions to ask about regarding your back up drives are:

• Do you back up your data regularly?
• Are you backing up the right files?
• Is your external or network hard drive in the same location as your computer?
• Do you store copies of your data offsite in case of theft or a fire?

If your data is critical to your business this might not be the most effective way to back you your data.
