How to Make Sure You Have the Data You Need Every Time

We’re in unreal, crazy times at the moment, and it has to be said that a lot of people are regretting their move to the cloud.

A lot of people are loving it as well because they’re going, “Huh, you know what? Sweet, I’m in the cloud. This is great! I can access everything from home. It is good.”

Internet Speeds Are Slowing Down

The problem with cloud migration, especially when the lockdown started and everybody started working from home, is the loads increased by about 300%, not just 10% or 20% or 30%. That means we’ve seen lots of core business go up and down, which is something that wouldn’t happen if business owners spent the money on business-grade Internet connections and kept their infrastructure local.

Get Localised Copies of Your Data

Having said that, if you have made the decision to move to the cloud, it’d be a very sensible idea to make sure that you’ve got localised copies that you can set to schedule to download at night.

Whether that’s through Dropbox, OneDrive or anything like that, make sure you go out, buy bigger drives, and have everything copied locally. That way, it’s going to be much, much quicker when you go and open up that document.

Backups, Backups, and More Backups

If you want to make sure things are staying nice, quick, and efficient, these are things that you need to be keeping in mind and doing.

Keep a localised copy of the data. This has become even more important since we started seeing Internet outages and blackouts across Australia and also on an international scale.

Keep your data local and make sure you have backups. If you don’t know where your remote workforce is backing their data up to, find out. See what you can do to see where the files are going.

The Final Word

If something goes terribly wrong and your IT company blows up and disappears, where do you go to get your data backup? Where do you get all of your information?

Have a Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan in place so that you won’t ever lose data and if you do, you can easily retrieve it and avoid days or weeks of downtime.

This strange, alien landscape is one of the many canyons of Utah. And as you might expect, they filmed a lot of movies down here, one of the most famous is the Planet of the Apes. In that film, ‎Charlton Heston and his crew of astronauts, who were in hibernation for 2,000 years, ultimately crashed back on Earth, but they didn’t recognise their planet because it’s changed that much and because the apes have taken over.

How Website Redirects Work

Websites grow over time, and as you add more pages and organize your platform, you might start making changes that may include changing the names of your pages such as changing your About Me page to About Us because now you have a team. That might also mean changing the URL and the need to set up redirects. A website redirect will ensure that when someone types in or click on the original URLs, they will be redirected to the new page you set the redirection instead and that your visitors won’t end up on a 404 error page. This will keep you from losing the value of these links you’ve built and will contribute to the high-quality experience of your clients and users. For anyone who runs a website and implements a page-by-page basis, they will find something relevant for search engine optimization. In this episode, Joshua Lewis shares his insights about how website redirects work.

How to Stop Spam and Increase Leads (Part 2)

Receiving spam emails in large quantities is incredibly annoying. If you are using a public e-mail address, you can receive thousands of spam messages every day.

How to Stop Spam and Increase Leads (Part 1)

Where did the term “spam” come from? This was derived from a Monty Python sketch where a couple tried to order something at a restaurant other than spam (the popular meat product). Then a group of Vikings in the background started to sing the praises of spam and soon the only word you can hear in the sketch is “spam.” The same thing happens to the Internet, which would be overwhelmed by large-scale unsolicited emails. Let’s say you paid for a list of email addresses from a local business organization. The list of addresses seems like it could contain great prospects for your business, and you wanted to send them an email containing a relevant offer they can’t refuse. But since these recipients didn’t give you explicit permission to contact them, sending an email to this list would be considered spam. In this episode, Joshua Lewis shares some tips on how to stop spam and increase your chance of obtaining leads.
