As we have previously discussed, backing up data is vital, you need to ensure you have all your information stored in case of an emergency.

This topic is stressed in a Tech Republic article. “Most people don’t even back up. Those who do, usually assume it’s “set it and forget it.” I’ve been focusing on backups for a while and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that backups can’t be trusted. You must monitor them; you must babysit them. If you don’t, one of these days you are going to need that backup and it won’t be there.”

Marcus Networking is able to monitor backups and their progress to ensure that you are storing all of your information properly.  If something were to occur and you lost all of the data on the computers or servers, it is good to know that it will be stored somewhere safe where it can be retrieved.
