Updating of the Backup System
Introduction
It is important to always back up computer data. This should be done every day. Although it may seem like a tedious process, it becomes an indispensable rescue procedure when a computer crashes and the data is directly inaccessible.
One can use several methods for backing up data. One can back up data by using a CD, a Zip disk or something similar. A CD burner has become the easiest way to store data. Burning a disk of important files and programs everyday is a guaranteed way of saving your personal data.
One can purchase software that will automatically back up data. When a computer crashes, the program will retrieve your otherwise "hidden" data with ease. While it may be possible to retrieve the data, a data recovery specialist may still be needed to fix the hard drive.
Either way, data is never completely lost after a computer crash.

In any business, though, it is essential and crucial that all data be preserved. Because of the enormity of data in a business environment, due to the aspect of a networking system, a system of backing up data as similar to those processes mentioned above, regarding backing up data from a PC, would not be feasible. A much more extensive process is needed.
Project
At my office, we decided that we needed to upgrade our tape backup system to make use of the high-tech features that were presently available. We compared our present system to what was available and decided that it would be worthwhile to upgrade, not only...
