Plan Backup Systems PDF Print E-mail

Experience and Murphy's Law tells us that if something can go wrong, it will, so now is the time to get as many backup elements in place as possible. Just as fire exits are pre-planned for every office building, you should pre-plan for complications and disasters. Design and test your backup systems on a routine basis. That means having extra "everything you can think of" like:

  • Copier and Printer Supplies
  • Toner cartridges
  • Paper
  • Copy machines
  • Ink, ribbons, etc.
  • Computer Support
  • Hard drive backups
  • Network support
  • Disk crash recovery softwares
  • Alternative internet and e-mail access
  • Virus solutions
  • Bad Weather Solutions
  • Alternative ways for the team to reach the office (or keep in touch electronically)
  • Cell phones to backup telephone failures
  • Battery power if electricity goes out

And you should always have a Backup Delivery System . It should be in place and ready to go when the first delivery begins. Don't assume you'll find a way if something goes wrong. Have a method ready. God is kind, but not willing to go any farther than as far as you've planned ahead!
