Data Backup Systems are now essential to every company. However, few companies have not seen its importance. For some, it’s a luxury instead of a necessity. But the question is, can you resume business operations although there is data loss?
If your answer is NO, then this article is for you.
Disclaimer: Although backing up is really helpful for you and your customers’ businesses, not all backup implementations work great. Some become your worst nightmares due to their very technical features that require a lot of effort.
That is why we asked our backup vendors and customers about the experience they have encountered and heard about the worst data backup strategies.
So we list the 4 worst backup mistakes that should be corrected.
The very first thing that you should get straight is “don’t rely on your memory when doing a manual backup”. It will be much better to automate the process because reality speaks that a manual backup process cannot beat an automated and advanced one in terms of consistency, speed, and quality, especially security.
Further, when you solely rely on your memory you are preventing yourself from focusing on things that matter the most like your business goals. You will surely be much better off when you avoid worrying about little things such as backup systems.
The best thing about a professional data backup system is that it allows a way to backup all files through scheduling and also syncing. In fact, ZZ Computer – a Managed IT Services Los Angeles offers a Data Backup & Disaster Recovery service. We streamline the backing-up processes and plan just for you.
Another worst mistake is not backing up regularly. We don’t want our data and files to be lost, right?
So it perhaps helps if you set up an automatic system that does that work for you anytime and anywhere you need backup or not. Because the truth is, we don’t always know what are things that should be saved and erased when you’re in the heat of the moment. It will always turn out that you only remember to backup your data once it goes missing.
If you’re going to choose a cheap data backup system make sure that it truly provides the backup platform that you need. Because the majority of these cheap systems don’t have the full replication of your files. Instead, they have the file-syncing and snapshots feature only.
While both are a great addition, these cannot be your entire backup solution. You must go for a Backup System that has software for backing up and re-editing purposes only. It would also be great if you have a separate storage area for the restoration and saving of your important files.
Suggestion: If you want a reliable Data Backup System – Try ZZ Computer’s Data Backup & Recovery service.
You are now all set with your Data Backup System but if you want assurance, you must have a Backup Plan for your backups.
This means that you cannot solely rely on one system, as much as possible try to have other backup systems because what happens if your dedicated system dies? All your data die too, right?
So, to prevent this from happening, try to avoid doing a single-point backup system, instead, try other things because threats may happen anytime.
To have a backup plan for your backups, contact ZZ Computer– the IT Services Company in Los Angeles. We streamline the recovery processes based on your needs.
If by any chance you found yourself cringing now because you’re guilty of these bad backup habits, don’t worry. It’s okay to make mistakes. What is not okay is not recognizing those mistakes. And remember, don’t stay there, change your ways of backing up your data and contact ZZ Computer– we create a personalized backup process for you!

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
