Most of us realize that earthquakes, fires and water damage are possibilities, but only a few have experienced them to the extent that our businesses were lost forever.
Most companies now have fairly sophisticated disaster recovery plans.
Computers, which contain much of our business activity, are regularly backed up, and copies of those files are rotated to an off-site location daily or at least weekly. Technology Corner by Richard Rappe Now try to imagine that your office no longer exists and you are in a temporary office with all of your computer files reloaded. Paper documents can be scanned into a computer and then stored on hard drive, CD-ROM , tape backup or another device. If your company receives only a small amount of paper, it's possible that you could purchase a small scanner and make it part of your normal backup process to scan and index the files electronically for future retrieval. You probably want to use a service bureau unless you have an employee with enough extra time to do all of the scanning.
