Are You a File Hoarder?
KNOWING WHEN AND HOW TO DELETE YOUR FILES

This archive is backed up less often than a regular server, and data can be later deleted without impacting your active server. Don’t procrastinate. Organizing your files is a lot like cleaning your room. If you do a little work each day, your server will be more efficient. Take the time now to organize your files into their appropriate homes and create an archiving system that keeps your old content stored safely and out of sight. An effective organization system can save you a marathon cleaning session and protect your files.

The experts at MicroTech Systems can help you develop an organization system that will keep your technology running smoothly and the file- hoarding to a minimum. For more technology tips, visit MicroTechBoise. com/MicroTech-Blog, or call (208) 345-0054 for more information.
