Overview:

Determining the best back up solution for your small business is no small project. There are literally dozens of questions to consider, including the difficulty of installation, the investment required, which capabilities to look for, and whether the system can expand with your business growth. To help you make this important decision, TechRepublic is using what we have dubbed the D.I.C.E. (Difficulty, Investment, Capability, Expandability) framework. We will walk through each of these points so you will be able to apply them to your situation, and then we will help you pick the solution that is right for you. To help you apply the D.I.C.E framework, we have created a sample Excel worksheet that incorporates the framework described and have included it in the downloadable zip file.
