This article provides general information. The right troubleshooting steps can vary by device, configuration and situation. Back up important data before making significant system changes.
Keep systems current
Plan regular operating-system and application updates instead of postponing them indefinitely.
Back up important data
Maintain backups appropriate to the business and periodically confirm that important files can actually be restored.
Secure accounts
Use unique passwords and multi-factor authentication where supported, especially for email, financial and administrative accounts.
Document the basics
Keep an inventory of key devices, internet/network equipment, software subscriptions and support contacts so troubleshooting does not start from zero.
