Avert Disaster: Protect Your Practice with Online Backups

By Neil J. Squillante | Friday, September 9, 2005

Coming September 13, 2005 to TechnoFeature: Hurricane Katrina serves as a sobering reminder that one catastrophe — earthquake, fire, flood, hurricane, terrorism, etc. — can destroy an entire law practice. In this article, Wells Anderson and Joe Hartley explain how all law firms can supplement their in-house backup procedures with off-site safe, secure, and affordable Internet backups. In doing so, they review the leading online backup services. In the wake of Katrina, Wells pulled his originally-scheduled article to pen this one with Joe Hartley in the hope that it will help law firms stay in business when disaster strikes next. We will publish the article originally scheduled for today on January 17, 2006.
