We are so dependent on computers to store our information – personal and professional, such as business contacts, birth dates of friends and family members, key appointments, due dates for the payment of bills and other such information which we use and consume on a daily basis. It can be a painful experience if our computers collapse owing to a complete failure and the data could never be retrieved owing to the absolute lack of data backup.
It is advisable to take proper precautions before a disaster strikes. There are two broad means of storing our information. One is online data backup for saving all your valuable data on the internet, either on email or through a special website designed to store data for a nominal charge.
The other way is OFFSITE data backup. This is a practically useful and viable method of storing data at another location. All files and data are backed up daily, which are kept for storage at a different location. The main advantage of this system is that it ensures the safety of your valuable data just in case of theft, fire or any attack from hackers.
