What you'll need

If you were to undertake all the steps we recommend for this project, you'd probably need a three-day weekend. Depending on which parts of our disaster-proofing plan you implement, you'll need some or all of the following items:

  • A UPS power supply
  • Antivirus software
  • A software firewall
  • Two or more antispyware programs
  • Two same-size hard drives
  • A RAID controller card
  • An external hard drive or NAS drive
  • A subscription to an online backup service
