Summer is in full swing and many of us are enjoying summer activities, vacations, and family time. We tend to get a little more relaxed and laid back in the summer. But have you ever left for a wonderful vacation only to wonder if turned off the iron and locked the doors? In your business backing up your data and securing your flash drive is the equivalent to turning off the iron and locking the doors.

If you have ever worked with me as your QuickBooks ProAdvisor then you already know I preach 'back-up' your data. In most businesses a computer crash is the equivalent to an office fire! If you've backed-up your data you can be back in business quickly. However, within QuickBooks there is a certain way to back-up, not only to give you to the option to recover your data but also to maintain the data integrity. Read, "Backing-up QuickBooks" for this important information.

Many of us use flash drives to store or back-up data. Since flash drives are inexpensive and small, we may undervalue the true value of the data we store on them. What if you lost your flash drive? What information would the person finding it have access to? Read, "Secure that Flash Drive" to learn how to protect your data.

This summer back-up your data and secure that flash drive so you can enjoy that "Summer" state of mind.

Remember, you can create Your Business and Your Life, YOUR WAY!
