BACKUP TO A HYBRID-CLOUD
There are several different ways to create a backup, but we suggest a hybrid-cloud image-based backup that can be used to restore data and applications even if your server is destroyed, and that can restore data from different points in time.
RealTime provides Hybrid-Cloud backups for our clients. The above diagram explains the concept of a Hybrid cloud model for backing up your data.

2. GO OLD SCHOOL
This is what telephones looked like before they were referred to as “landlines”.
Use your printer the way you did in the 1990s! Print out a copy of all of your important emergency contacts and have them ready with your hurricane supplies. You never know if you will be able to access your phone or computer, but perhaps you can find a landline somewhere to use in a dire situation.
