Backup for MYOB / Moneyworks

Backup for MYOB / Moneyworks accounting software has often been a topic for a start but often with no action taken thereafter. Every other month, we hear of customer getting ransomware (especially multi-user of MYOB / ABSS), or harddisk damaged (for MYOB / ABSS Single users). These customers do their backup in the same machine harddisk storage as their accounting software, just different folder. There are smarter case whereby they backup to network drives, but when they are hit with ransomware, the backup is also being encrypted at the same time.

Recent case of fire in Tampines triggers a long term customer to contact us, asking what will happen if their office is on fire. As they are in the vicinity, the business owners started to discuss about the data storage and backup not just for their accounting software.

Similarly as ransomware hit your data in server, or in PC, or backup harddisk, whatever in the office will also be gone!

Here are some considerations before we can provide a solution:

1. Backup single machine or multiple machine

2. Backup of small amount of important data, or every data is important

3. Current office setup of file sharing
