New Backup Book…

The new book is out… “Thinking of…Backing Up Data In Your Business? Ask the Smart Questions” has just been published by Smart Questions Limited.

Backup technology continues to move rapidly and unfortunately there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ answer. New technology and the option of using a cloud computing service just make the decision harder. The Smart Questions series aims to give you the right questions to ask – and an understanding as to why they are important. Going into a discussion with knowledge of what sort of solution you need will help you get the right solution – rather than the wrong one!
This book has been written for anyone who has data that needs to be protected. It is aimed at all those who know that the information they create and store on their computers is important, they have heard of backup but aren’t too sure what to do next. They have heard horror stories of lost data and failed backups and so have tended to use the ‘cross your fingers and hope that nothing goes wrong’ backup strategy in the past but now want something a little more reliable.
This book is really meant for you, if you have a smaller business – the small to medium size business, SMB. It’s designed to help get you started if you don’t have a backup solution and to bring you up to date when you need to review or replace the one you have.
The book isn’t prescriptive, but it will help you make the right decisions to get the right solution for your business.
“We had looked at backup, but the more we looked into it, the more it seemed to be a real minefield. Using the book we were able to approach our technical partner who quickly helped us find the right solution“.
Ian Jackson, Director, Compact Software.
The book’s available from all good book sellers… UK Orders… US Orders.

PS It would make a great present for the Holiday Season!
Data Leaks For Dummies Is Now Available

My new book, “Data Leaks For Dummies”, written in conjunction with Gareth Fraser-King is now available from Amazon and all good bookstores in both the US and the UK. Many things you will find in the blog, you will also find in the book.
As with all “For Dummies” books, it offers practical advice for everyone who deals in sensitive or confidential information – from the CEO to data-entry personnel (who co-incidently tend to have access to more sensitive information than the CEO!) So, go out and order a copy today!
