Inclement Weather Guide

When you’re in the path of a hurricane, tornado or dangerous storm, your personal safety is obviously the most important thing, but you also want to protect your shop’s technology. Your equipment could get damaged even with the best preparation, but these tips will help you minimize the risk.

System Backups:
Regular backups are always recommended but are particularly crucial when severe weather is expected. Please follow the appropriate guide to perform a backup for your specific product:
eLube: Follow these steps.
InvoMax: Follow these steps.
Sage Customers: Follow these steps.
Auto Data: When backups are complete, we suggest removing the external drive out, turning off the PC and unplugging from power.
Driverse: No manual system backups are needed. We recommend powering down your PC and unplugging from power.

Miscellaneous Peripherals (Scanners, printers, etc.)
• If they have a power cord, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or surge protector.
• If you expect your site will be flooded, get all computer equipment above the expected flood level.
• Label all equipment and take pictures before moving it.
