Email Archiving Ignored Too Often


Important info at risk

It's an all-too-common sequence of actions: click, click, scream.  Data is just terribly easy to lose and delete, so to protect yourself from at least one potential source of trouble, think about archiving your business emails.

Maybe you're excellent about transferring information from emails to calendars and address books.  If so, this advice applies less to you than the rest of the world, but two sets of backups are better than one.  And as a SmallBizTechnology article points out, participants in some industries are required by law to archive things.

On to the possibilities, then.  One way to back emails up is to hit "print" every few seconds.  If you can pay for and live with the waste of ink and paper, this will work.  Or you can forward everything to free Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail accounts.

There are all sorts of more professional solutions, too.  GFI Software, which sponsored a study showing that 51 percent of organizations don't archive their emails, offers some products.  Feel free to suggest others in the comments section.

The main point is not to risk losing all sorts of valuable information due to a single goof.  Recovering from that can cost time, money, and your reputation.
