To craft an effective data protection, security and recovery solution, you need a minimum of two components:
1.
Security software Security software includes antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall solutions. For more information on the nuts and bolts of data security, take our free online class, "Preventing hackers, viruses and other security threats". You can find out about security software on the link above.
2.
A backup product You need a effective, easy way to backup, protect, store your data, other than on your vulnerable notebook, desktop PC, or server. If you're just starting out, that could be something as simple as a USB thumb drive or CD-ROM, taken off premises regularly and stored in a safe deposit box or fire safe. You can find more scalable backup products on the link above.
HP also includes powerful Total Care services with every notebook, desktop and workstation PC, and storage solution. The services link will show you how to take advantage of powerful features you may not even know you had.
