The majority of data in today’s modern world of business is stored on computers. The data can be of a different nature and may be needed at any given point. Big business houses, and also smaller ones, rely heavily on the data stored in computers for running their operations internally, while dealing with clients.
If the data is lost or becomes irretrievable for any reason, the entire business can collapse. This is where the back up system plays a crucial role in acting as the safeguard against loss of data stored in an electronic format. There are several choices nowadays, and you need to make the right one. Some backup techniques may be more convenient and more reliable; some will come cheap, but won’t be reliable. To make a choice can get difficult.
One of the most common and widely practiced methods of backup is called hard disc imaging. It is also called cloning. This method is ideal for all users of computers, whether home based or otherwise. Another popular backup system is remote online backup. In this method the server where the back up will be stored is kept in remote location which is far away.
