🎙 In this episode of Systemize Your Success, I dive into a topic that hit home for me: the importance of backing up your task management app. As someone who relies heavily on Asana to run my business, the thought of losing access to it is absolutely terrifying.
I share my experience of a staff member accidentally deleting a project and how that incident sparked my mission to find a reliable and affordable backup solution. I discuss the app we use, ProBackup, and how it simplifies the backup process and helps keep costs down by minimising the data stored in our task management system.
Throughout the episode, I provide tips on effectively managing your data and ensuring that your business remains protected, allowing you to sleep better at night knowing that everything is backed up. If you're looking to safeguard your business and streamline your operations, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won't want to miss!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
💡 Importance of Backing Up Task Management Apps: Losing access to a task management app can be devastating for a business, as it often contains critical information about projects, tasks, and team communication.
💡 ProBackup as a Solution: ProBackup is recommended as an effective and user-friendly backup solution for various task management apps. This allows users to back up their data easily and affordably.
💡 Cost-Effective Data Management: To minimise backup costs, it's advised to store large files (like documents and media) in cloud storage services (e.g., Google Drive) and link them in the task management app, reducing the amount of data that needs to be backed up.
💡 Notification Features: ProBackup offers notifications for deleted projects or tasks. As a result, users will have peace of mind, allowing them to quickly recover lost data without extensive searching or contacting support.
💡 Additional Tools for Efficiency: Utilising tools like Fathom for meeting recordings and iDrive for cloud storage can further reduce overall storage costs and streamline data management, ensuring that backups remain affordable and efficient.
