Have you ever worked really hard on a project and right before you hit the save button, the computer crashes? Well, it’s not just your luck. Data loss is very common; 66% of all Internet users have experienced some sort of data loss. That’s a high percentage considering all you have to do is backup. Backup?!?!?!?
Backup is a term used for making copies of important data that can be restored if any data is lost. Backups are not the same as archives. An archive is a primary copy of data used for future use and a backup is a secondary copy of data used to replace the original item. As long as new data is being created and changes are being made, backups will need to be updated.
Computer Backup is especially important in the business environment because most companies store their important information onto a computer. Without this data, some companies could simply not exist. It’s recommended that every business perform weekly or daily backups depending on the amount of information being stored. Several ways to backup information are hard disk imaging, online backup, and external storage devices.
For more information regarding backup, I found Spam Laws Online to be the best resource.
