1) My IT Support person takes care of that … I think.

Tell me, what confirmation do you have that your critical and proprietary information is being safely stored offsite every day? “Well,” you say, “maybe not every day, but I know my computer is being backed up, somehow, on a semi-regular basis. That’s part of what my IT guy does.”

My advice: Act quickly to take control of your information, because your livelihood depends on its survival. The key is to employ a service that monitors your backup every day, and sends you daily email confirmation that your backup has completed successfully.
