True to form, this email included a list of suggestions from his clients for making an end-of-year IT checklist.  As we close out the year, we should probably all ask ourselves if those widgets, gizmos, and gadgets we work so hard on all year are actually working.  One suggestion was:

Are you sure your data is being backed up? Who is responsible for your data backup? Is it being tested to ensure that the backup is actually occurring and that data is actually being backed up?

What's your advice to NTEN members?  What would you put on your end of year IT checklist?  All commenters will receive a fun prize pack from NTEN!
