Those of us over a certain age remember the word "Rolodex," a card file of names and addresses of important contacts.
These days the "rolo" is more likely to be an electronic file of some sort, and it is still critical.
A cloud backup is great as long as the Internet is working, a spreadsheet file is great if you back it up off site somewhere, and a printout may be useful if stored in a safe place away from the business site.
A separate file should include employee contact information.
And, speaking of employees, have they been briefed on your disaster planning?
Never depend on a single storage method for critical data.
Businesses in Florida and the west are learning that lesson the hard way (and families are also).
