You’ve heard it time and time again: back up!  Doing so could mean the survival of your business.  Hard drive failures, natural disasters, theft, and even human error are just a handful of the many ways critical documents and files can be irreversibly damaged or destroyed.  But what about email?

Companies and individuals regularly send and receive email, many with business-critical documents such as contracts, bids, proposals, and other forms of essential correspondence.  What would happen if one day you suddenly lost it all?  Would you be able to perform critical business functions?  What if your address book disappeared and you lost all your (many, many) contacts?

Thus, we illustrate the importance (and necessity) of email backup.  Look for a backup provider that allows you to quickly and accurately restore your vital email data; otherwise, when (not if) your computer fails/is stolen/is burned to a crisp in a suspicious office fire, you may spend days trying to recover your email.
