It is best for office and home computers that use
protected or confidential information like medical records and
financial statements or any information you don't want to lose. Do
you keep sensitive information on your computer that you would be upset
if you lost it? If someone tells you that he is going to format your
hard drive right now and you will lose all of the information on your
computer, would you be ready? Computers are a useful part of our lives
but we don't always protect ourselves from their loss be it fire, theft
or hardware failure. You must have always come across the phrase
"Data Backup" when you talk about data loss. It's not that we don't
understand its importance completely but just that we pay little less
attention to it than required. Data backup can be useful only if
done in a consistent manner. This is a precautionary measure that needs
to be taken. The advantages of backup are evident in the event that the
original computer hard disk crashes. Since the chances of that
occurring are very high, when it occurs, the backup is very useful.
Hence apart from what you need to do is to make sure that the backups
that you have taken can be restored. Data backup without data recovery
is not very useful. Hence you need to regularly check that recovery is
possible too. You must know the security requirements and
concerns, and that your backup software ensures 100% data accuracy
while restoring. You must also ensure that your backup software
prevents unauthorized access to the information, through a password or
a variety of encryption algorithms. You must also ensure that there is
less time between the two subsequent backups otherwise if there is
longer period between backups, you may lose quite a lot of data. Online
services connect to your PC and backs up all your files and stores them
in a server that you can access at any time, from anywhere in the
world. You can also set the option of having an online service monitor
if you have new files such that it automatically stores new files when
detected. M.Awara
