3. Preventing data loss during outages
[highlight-text]A. Determine if your electronic set up requires an uninterruptible power supply device, also know as a UPS device. [/highlight-text]
• Whereas surge protectors protect surges of power, these UPS devices protect against outages.
• Outages and dips in power, even if minor, can cause hard or soft damage (like data loss) to certain equipment - for example, external hard drives or advanced telecommunication equipment.
• A UPS will be particularly beneficial if you have a home office or continually run operations on your electronics.
• Most UPS devices will also protect your devices from power surges.
[highlight-text]B. During thundery seasons, do long term data backups on a more opportunistic basis.[/highlight-text]
• Do it well before days with a threat of lightning make it a risky thing to be doing.
