In reality, only a small percentage of users completely understand the software products they work with. Training personnel, companies can maximize their efficiency and minimize the risk of accidental data corruption.

Far too many users recall the backup after data corruption. Develop your backup plan before! Back up on a regular basis (daily, weekly). Make several copies of your data. Keep backup at a secure separate location.
