Disaster DATA Recovery & Your System School/Network Computers Catherine Agnew CEDu Oconomowoc

My Security Philosophy, Part 1 While I have never had my computer crash big- time (it can be slow from time to time), I have taken some security precautions to protect my computer and myself. Personally, I do not give out my passwords and seldom check the boxes on websites that ask if I want the computer to remember me. Someone will always have access to that information.

My Security Philosophy, Part 2 I also check for the lock at the bottom of a screen when giving personal information so that I know that there is some protection of my information. I do run an anti-virus program on my personal computer, but feel I could be more proactive in backing up my files. I want the maximum amount of protection at a reasonable price in an anti-virus program that is also easy to use.

My Security Philosophy, Part 3 If something does happen to my computer, I want to have everything backed up and access to a Data Recovery Disaster team that is also easy to work with and effective while being affordable, too.

My Security Philosophy, Part 4 I would also hope for the same dedication from a recovery team at a school or network level – especially with the amount of computers in a school and the computer knowledge that some of our students have. If something happens to one computer, it would be perfect to have it confined to just one without spreading building or district-wide.

School Computer Backup Plan What I can do: Backup data in another location (I use a flash drive and still keep a red grade book – some grades do not transfer in our computer system if a student changes classes) Backup data in another location (I use a flash drive and still keep a red grade book – some grades do not transfer in our computer system if a student changes classes) At the end of the year, we are instructed to save our data and files in another location and delete old files taking up server space.
