The simple backup solution: 5 reasons to use secure online data storage
A simple backup plan to efficiently store your data is essential for the security of your valuable information. There are a number of ways to store your data. Three of the most effective backup systems are:
1. Writing information to DVD
2. Saving files on an external hard drive
3. Using a secure remote online backup service
Let’s have a look at five reasons why secure remote online data backup and storage is a great idea.
1. Data backup must be stored off premises
It’s vital that your computer and data backup are on separate premises. This way, in the event of fire, theft or any other disaster, the chances of you losing both sets of information are minimal. If you keep your external hard drive in your laptop bag with your computer, however, you’d be left with nothing. The bonus of online data storage is that it’s stored securely-away from your home, business and computer.
2. Quick and easy
It’s quick and easy to make a simple backup with a service like World Data Safes. The programme’s interface is user-friendly and you can create and organise your backups with a few clicks. Transferring information to DVDs or external hard drives can take hours, especially with video and image files.
3. Safe and secure
Frustratingly, DVDs and hard drives can corrupt, be stolen or get lost. Online backup systems are protected much like online banking. World Data Safes uses bank-type encryption to protect your data and only you are able to access your account with your login details.
4. Instantly accessible
Your backup files are instantly accessible to you if you use remote online data storage. You can use your account anywhere there is a computer and an internet connection. DVD and hard drive backups are likely to require more time to use, particularly if you have to travel to access them.
5. Plenty of space
It’s amazing how quickly even high-capacity hard drives get full! Photos and videos take up a lot of space. One of the benefits of online data backup is that there’s no limit as to how much storage space you can use.
