Is your data backed up every day (at least)? Too many people think that's all that's needed. Very wrong! We have seen on more than one occasion someone trying to restore their data only to discover that their backup was not readable or critical information was missing!
you do not have a backup procedure!
You should test and document your restore procedure. This ensures that you know what to do when crisis strikes. You should practice a full restore at least once a year and make sure that you test all critical business applications to make sure they work in your restored environment. It's better to practice your restores now. Take your backup media, go to a completely isolated computer, restore everything on it, and test your applications.
Remember, eventually, you will have to restore. It will happen to you, count on it.
