Spoiler Alert: Disaster Has Many Faces – Chance Favors the Prepared
Get ready for a stunning statistic. A report from Deloitte determined that all but 10% of businesses will fail without a disaster recovery plan in place.

After all, it’s never too late to get serious about the threats that are out there and always a good time to plan for the worst.

Now that the calendar says September, it is time once again for Apple to release their new iPhone – and loyal customers are anxiously awaiting the September 10 release of the iPhone 11.

The official release of iOS 13 is expected in the next few days. Before you upgrade, however, remember that the experts all agree that you should back up your mobile data before you run a system upgrade.
