Most companies, schools, offices and organisations are completely dependent on data that is stored on their computer systems. However, if that data is lost due to any kind of power failure, system crash, virus or because of human error then it takes several hours to install software and recover the lost data, if it’s even possible. Many companies have suffered before, experiencing huge losses.
Organisations with good data backup protection can also lose all their crucial data. If you have a backup of your data yourself in the form of tapes, hard disks or some other backup device and you are not able to recover it, you would have to call an IT expert to recover your data, which can prove quite expensive.
Many companies offer online data backup which is more reliable and also more cost effective. These companies offer online data backup for single machines or for an entire network. However, you can have an online data backup service for your personal use as well.
All the data gets encrypted the moment it leaves your computer, so it is all completely safe, whether it be your financial documents, personal emails or bank statements. Even the online data backup company cannot access your data. In case of a system crash, it takes mere minutes to recover your data and hence it also saves time.
