It’s common to save files to a desktop to make them easier to find and open without the need to drill down through a hierarchy of folders.
The advantages are obvious; however should problems arise with data loss and a system restore is needed, these desktop based files are often lost forever.
The problem with typical small business networks, often powered by Small Business Server 2003, is that the backup regime only includes data on the server and the individual user’s My Documents folder if it has been redirected to the server. This means that more often than not, the user’s desk top based files will miss the back up.
If you operate a network, make sure all users only save data in their My Documents folder or a network folder (or network share) that has been approved by the system administrator. This way, you can be sure that ALL crucial data and documents will be included in the back up.
