Remember to test those backups as well. An untested backup is almost as bad as no backup. Almost.

Backing up, of course…

Thanks for the reminder to let my users know.

They love it when I badger them about this stuff.

That’s the most important part of backing up

I love this annual reminder to take a look at how your backups are doing. If you’re virtualized, and you need some data protection, download the Spiceworks Edition of Unitrends Enterprise Backup today. It’s 100% free, and includes protection for 8 VMs, including ESXi.

Already have a solid backup? Use this day to review your DR plans since the reason that we all do backups are so that we can recover. The free BC/DR link is another great free tool from Unitrends that can help you organize your DR plans & includes cloud storage for your plan so that you don’t have to worry about where your plan is in the event of an emergency.

I’m testing my restore from my Unitrends UEB right now. Great product. Now I just need more storage for more history.

Thanks for using Unitrends! Is there such a thing as too much storage?

The DR Man says today is a great day to test your recovery process.

Also, call your folks, and help them set up a backup plan too.

I see Acronis is still running their World Backup Day specials through the end of the month.

Merry Backup Day! Enjoy the festivities…

Today is ‘world backup day’, not ‘world restore day’, you rebel.

I actually put this on my calendar last March as a reminder for this year! My colleague (and also a green guy in the community), Hari, posted a few tips today on our Egnyte blog . Definitely important for end users and companies to prepare for a rainy day!
