Backup Recording
February 11, 2010
There’s a lot to keep track of when you run a business or manage one. Details upon details upon details. Being organized can help. Having processes can help. Having a backup plan is essential. Let me explain…
As part of our Business Self-Defense™ Inner Circle Gold Coaching Program , we include a monthly live webinar on a specific marketing or business growth topic. We record these interviews and then have them edited so we can make them available on our web site.
The process involves making a recording of the screen, a separate recording of the audio portion of the call, and then merging them together.
Normally, we use a Skype add-on called “Pamela” to record, but just to be sure, I also use the recording feature of our conference-call provider to make a second recording. And good thing: a few weeks ago, my A/V guy e-mailed me to let me know that the audio I had sent was actually from a different month’s program.
At first, I got a little scared. Then I remembered the backup recordings. With just a little apprehension, I went to the conference-call web site and… there it was – a clean copy of the webinar audio.
Crisis averted!
It’s not possible to have built-in redundancy for every single thing you do, but it’s a really good idea to have backups for your important processes.
