Backup Service Survey Thank you for helping with my market research! I appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. Backup Survey Do you currently make backups of the data on your computer? Yes No What does that mean? If you don't make backups of your computer data, why not? I didn’t know that was something I could/should do. I don't care if I lose my data. It’s too complicated and I don’t want to figure out how to do it. It takes too much time. It’s too expensive. If you do make backups of your computer data, what method do you use? I back up my files on an external drive that I keep on my desk. I back up my files to a thumb drive, DVD or floppy disk (!) I back up my files to the cloud so that they are safely off-site in the event of a disaster. Other: (i.e.: Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud). Do you currently make backups of your mobile device data (phone, iPad, tablet, etc.), for example, your contacts, photos, and videos? Yes No What does that mean?

If your computer hard drive crashed, OR your computer was hit with ransomware, OR there was a natural disaster that wiped out your computer and any on-site backups, how would it impact your business? I’ve never thought about it, but it sounds scary. I would lose all my client information, documents, spreadsheets and other data, essentially putting me out of business for an extended period of time. I would be OK because I back up my computer to an external hard drive - oh, wait! That was lost in the disaster! I would be OK because I write everything down and I don’t rely on my computer to run my business. I would be OK because it’s easy to restart my business from scratch.
