As a system administrator, one of your main priorities should be keeping your company’s data secure. But, that data doesn’t just stay in one place. It’s always on the move -- whether someone is checking their email, accessing a document on their phone, or connecting in with a VPN, data is constantly flowing in and out of your network.
Happy Friday, book-lovers! It's been an exciting week for E-N Computers. Yesterday, we held our third in a series of educational cybersecurity conferences in Staunton at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. We had an amazing turnout, with several speakers who are either currently or have had successful careers as law enforcement officers throughout out the state of Virginia.
For the last few weeks, we’ve been looking at how to create data retention policies for various services where old data may accumulate.

Happy Friday, readers! You know what time it is. It's fiction time! This week, we're recommending "Artemis", written by Andy Weir.

While SharePoint is a much more organized document management system than a regular file server, it can still become cluttered with old documents.

Last week, we talked about the ins and outs of data retention policies. This week, we’ll get into the nuts and bolts of creating a retention policy for Exchange Online in Office 365.

How many messages are in your inbox? Even those of us who subscribe to Inbox Zero may have thousands of messages squirreled away in subfolders or archived mailboxes.
Now multiply that number across all of the users in your company -- and add in your file server, your SharePoint sites, and other places where documents accumulate.
Previously, we’ve talked about creating a backup plan and choosing backup solutions that will protect your vital data. Once those two pieces are in place, the final step is to create a disaster recovery plan -- a document that outlines how to use those backups to get your company up and running again after a major outage.
