Abstract

The last thirty years of computing has resulted in many people being heavily dependent on digital data. Meanwhile, there has been a significant change in the patterns of data storage and of processing. Despite the many risks involved in data management, there is a dearth of guidance and support for individuals and small organisations. A generic risk assessment is presented, resulting in practicable backup plans that are applicable to the needs of those categories of IT user.
