Do you have a Plan B? If something goes wrong with your important business systems, do you have a back-up of some kind for all your major systems?
I’m facing that myself today–my incoming email is not working. Seems the servers are being overwhelmed by spam which is choking out all the legitimate emails. The ISP/hosting company is working on it, but the result is I’m not receiving emails today to my main account.
I have a back-up. Good thing, too, since I have some time-critical things going on today. The people who need to reach me have been informed of the situation and sent my back-up email info. Ahhhh.
What would you do if your computer died today? Or if your camera did? Or your cellphone? Or your car (especially if you shoot on location)? Think about all your major systems and make a Plan B for each (btw, your Plan A includes backing up all pertinent systems, including cellphones, regularly, right?). Hopefully you’ll never need to use Plan B (for anything) but it’s great to know it’s there.
