“…The best policy is to have backups done at regular intervals to make sure the latest data is backed-up. An article by Santos and Bernadino called Open Source Tools for Remote Incremental Backups on Linux describes the easiest way to do a back-up is to copy an entire disk to a back-up disk [6]. This helps to prepare against drive failure.…”

Abstract-This paper seeks to take general security awareness information for home and small business owners and make it understandable and accessible by looking at practical ways to keep valuable information accessible after an incident or disaster according to current methods. This paper will first review select general security awareness information, then take a look at some aspects of contingency planning and look at some basic practical techniques to use in order to protect systems and information from complete loss after an incident. Finally, the ground work for implementing an individualized plan for a small business office or home office will be laid and some practical steps to take will be recommended.

Abstract. Information and data is the dominant value for today´s day-to-day corporate business, and its importance is still growing in this digital era and with the explosion in use of social media in recent years. However, ensure an effective and efficient security of data is largely neglected even if most companies assume that the corruption or loses of their data will be disastrous and a "life-threatening" situation, pointing the lack of financial resources for not assuring more proactive security measures. Backup systems are a precious resource, since its aim to recover data after its loss -data deletion or corrupted, and recover data from an earlier time. Open source represent a unique opportunity to save precious financial resources, especially for SMEs. In this paper, we made a comparison of Backup Open Source Systems features, evaluating if these tools are a viable alternative to the Proprietary software. The conclusions are positive. Bacula and Amanda, two of the three software systems reviewed, proved to be very comprehensive backup systems and real options for small companies and organizations.
