"We apologize for
inconvenience, but Windows could not be accessed or located."It happens to
best of us. A complete operating system failure. One day you might turn on your p.c. and that dreadful message is on your screen as plain as day. You don't know what you could have possibly done, as your computer was working fine just a little while ago.
Panic is usually
first thing to set in. Something like an operating system failure can literally put home business owners out of business indefinitely. The cost and time involved in trying to repair a p.c. and
months or even years of lost information is overwhelming and frightening to think about.
This doesn't have to happen to you if you are prepared.
When you think about it, our businesses are at
mercy of technology. The technology is only as good as long as it's working properly. What a wonderful world we would live in if technology were flawless.
The reality is that systems fail. Computers are machines and machines sometimes break down. It doesn't get any simpler that than. We have no other choice than to be prepared for when those times come, especially IF we want to make sure our home business suffers very little down time.
There are some very easy things you can do right now to make ensure your peace of mind for your business. You need to be back up and running as quickly as possible in
event of an operating system crash.
1. Document everything including usernames, passwords, merchant account numbers, important websites and especially software unlock codes. Anything that is not written down on paper is subject to be lost.
