Towed Over: Must Read Resource for Towing, Repo, and Salvage Professionals

Computers for towers, or anyone are a way of life. They are source of communication, record keeping, presentations, information, purchasing, etc..

To have your computer, or computer system go down for any reason could be financially devastating to your towing or wrecker business.

Thus I found an article in tow times about the importance of protecting your computer system.

As an E-Commerce Manager I depend on computers for about 98.999% of my job. So I have a few additional tips that might save your office staff, or you, some pain.

1-Have a backup system or laptop ready to go if your main system breaks down.

2-Have at least two forms of backup besides the hard drive like an online backup system and an external hard drive.

3-Have set rules for employees on where they can visit and what they can download..period

4-If you have to download make sure to at least do a preliminary online check before opening a file. This is to be done in tandem with your updated virus software. I usually go to www.virustotal.com

These are just a few tips..but it is a subject of the highest importance to protecting your business.
