- Document cases where problems are caused by lost files or deleted email. With a little luck and a lot of caution on your part, these will all happen to other people.
- Lobby within your company for a corporate response to the problem of archiving and backup. Write memos to your boss about the potential dangers of lost files. Get together with like-minded colleagues in an informal working group (not a "committee"; that's a dirty word these days). Produce a report on the potential financial damage to the company from lost records and the cost-effective solutions that could be implemented now, before disaster strikes. Use of your own company's favored jargon will dramatically increase your chances of success.
