What could bring you down the fastest? For many businesses, it's the database. If your hard drive crashed today, or if it were stolen, what would be the effect on your business? You have a backup, you say? Are you sure?
The best thing you can do is physically take the computer or server your key data reside on and put it in the trunk of your car. Tell your IT person that he has five hours to show you your data. If he can't, then each day you bear an unacceptable risk. Do something about it. Then run this same test each year.
