Data loss is a major problem that is faced worldwide by many people as well as business organisations. This is turning out to be a major problem in the UK. There have been several cases reported in which many private organisations, trusts and also the Ministry of Defence have lost their crucial data.
Memory sticks that contained personal information just vanishes, police staff have been sacked for sharing personal details and many more such incidents have occurred in recent times. There are several reasons for data loss like a device failure, a system or hard disk crash as well as human errors. Sometimes people lose portable storage media in public places.
Now the main question that arises here is over the safety of the public’s personal records. Police, Norfolk’s councils, hospitals, primary care trusts and many more have admitted that there have been breaches regarding personal data loss.
A similar case happened a couple of months back, when a private company employee lost a portable hard drive on public transport. Once your vital data is lost there is no way in which you can recover it. At such times online data backup and online data storage works perfectly. Online data storage services allow the user to store their data online safely and securely. This data is stored on the online data backup company’s server which is located in an offsite location. When you store data offsite on the company’s server, it is saved in an encrypted form – thus making it safer.
