I ran across this fascinating video recently on one of my favorite photography websites. In it, professional photographer Chase Jarvis describes the backup strategies he employs for his work. Chase does a great job explaining how a quality backup plan works, and many of the methods he shares are similar to the backup solutions we promote at Rocket IT. The specific hardware and software may vary from one organization to another, but the fundamental concepts are universally desirable: systematically back up mission critical data, maintain multiple copies for safety, and regularly store some copies offsite in case of catastrophe.
