In terms of computers and technology, a backup refers to housing an up-to-date copy of your data in a system outside of your computer, in the event something bad happens to your computer and you need to restore data.

By default, your Smart Service and QuickBooks data files exist in one place: the hard drive on your computer. If something were to happen to that hard drive or computer (a fire, flood, virus, mechanical failure, or simple user error), you could lose years of customer information and work history, data worth potentially millions of dollars.

Research shows that 140,000 hard drives fail in the United States every week. 60% of hard drive failures are caused by accident or by mechanical failure—factors completely beyond your control. Over half (60%) of companies fail within six months of losing their data.To prevent such a calamity, most IT professionals and computer experts recommend a cloud backup solution and disaster recovery plan.

A cloud backup stores a copy of your data on a series of redundant, secure networks outside of your local, physical computer system. Should you experience a computer failure or data loss, you can recover your data from your cloud backup on a new computer system.

Smart Backup is a cloud backup service for Smart Service and QuickBooks that regularly saves copies of your Smart Service and QuickBooks data files to the cloud. This means that no matter what happens to your hard drive or computer, you can safely recover your precious customer data.
