small business IT maintenance health check
A short periodic review can reveal avoidable risks before they become urgent repair jobs.
1. Check backups and restore a sample
Verify recent copies and open restored files.
2. Check free storage and drive health
Low space and warning signs should be addressed before updates or failures.
3. Review ageing computers
Identify systems that would be hard to replace quickly if they failed tomorrow.
4. Check cooling and physical condition
Dust, fan noise, swollen batteries and damaged cables are early warnings.
5. Review shared storage and network equipment
Document what is installed and whether backups exist.
6. Confirm key credentials and licences are controlled
The business—not one departed staff member—should be able to recover essential accounts and software.
