You should ensure that a
backup is routinely made of
all the critical data or
information that you use.
The information should be
backed up on a schedule that
if you lost the data, the
last backup would be recent
enough that any subsequent
transactions could be
recreated. That is, the
backup may be sometime in
the past. From the point of
the restoration, new
changes, such as new
transactions or file edits,
will need to be recreated.
In
most corporate environments,
it is likely that computer
files are backed upon a
regular basis. However, this
may require the user to
place files in a specific
location, such as on a
network storage drive. You
should know your
organization's backup
methodology.
