The Ten Tips of Raid Loss Prevention
1. Schedule regular backups.
2. Perform regular backups.
3. Verify that your backups are functional – we refer to this as a fire drill.
4. Store at least one of the backups somewhere away from the office.
5. Leave your server in an environment free of humidity, dust and smoke.
6. Use power surge protectors.
7. Use anti-virus software and update it frequently to scan and screen all incoming data and emails with attachments.
8. Handle your server with care and protect it from mishandling.
9. Turn off your server if it makes any unusual noises. Do not re-initialise if there is a failure and you are unsure of the nature of that failure.
10. Dissuade both staff and volunteers with good
intentions, but lacking server knowledge, from doing DIY upgrades or trouble shooting - data human error can be unkind to data.
