CRITICAL THINKING
Keith Edmunds is MD of Tiger Computing Ltd, which provides support for businesses using Linux.
You back up all your company data, and hopefully you test those backups occasionally. But when it comes to backups do you treat all data equally? There’ll be some data that’s critical to your business. Customer lists, employee details, next year’s budget: they’re important, but they’re not critical. If you lost them, there would be embarrassment, maybe loss of revenue, but the business would survive.
