It was a day in the fall of 2007 that the Ministry Of Defence would like to forget. A total of 658 laptops and 121 USB memory devices were stolen. While the loss of hardware may sound big, the amount of data that this hardware contained was humungous.
The data contained in these hardware devices contained confidential information on almost half of UK’s population which amounts to 20 million.
If such data containing the confidential information of so many, could as easily be stolen from the Ministry of Defence, then is the data that you have on your hard disks pertaining to your business transactions and other personal data safe?
Data stored on hard drives, portable CDs and DVDs is prone to loss. The answer to efficient data backup and storage lies in online storage.
Many companies realised the importance of security and are now opting for online backup or online storage. Now you can upload all your valuable data on the internet in an ‘online vault’ which is well protected, thanks to the layers of security.
In case of any problems or unfortunate events, you would not end up losing all your data. All you would have to do is access your vault with the help of the username and password provided to you, download and restore all your data.
