With so many data recovery software options to choose from, it is easy for one to be lulled into a false sense of security- that if needed one will be able to find the perfect data recovery software that will return their PC back to its original state. 

Further to this, that your backups will be the fallback if all else fails. Without devising a backup strategy or backup workflow within your business, it will be near impossible to trace which material is which when disaster strikes.

Up to 70% of businesses which suffer considerable damage due to data loss go out of business within the next year. 

Don't add your business to this statistic, start designing a backup workflow today. A backup workflow is simply a graphical (or text) based representation of the backup process within your business. This could be created using your basic database software such as Microsoft Access. 

Some at this point might be saying that their software comes equipped with such capabilities- however when a business incorporates many different forms of backup within their strategy i.e. hard drive backups, tape backups, off-site backups, it becomes very difficult to monitor and remain on top of it.

It is crucial for your backup workflow document to be universal, able to be accessed securely by all members of your business, and of course for the document to be backed-up as well! 

Dedicate one member of staff to overseeing and ensuring that the workflow document is kept up to date- it could save you thousands of dollars in the long run. 

If multiple copies of your backup workflow document become dispersed and moved around , it will be as good as useless in the case of a data loss event. If such a workflow is implemented and maintained, then in the event a PC within your business suffers from data loss it will be far easier to trace a possible solution.

Devising a backup workflow within your business will ensure that you have an analysis of your backup history- allowing you to trace the lost information more efficiently. 

Further to this, the information a backup workflow provides will be invaluable to a data recovery specialist, which will hopefully be your last your last resort.
