Almost 25% of all computer users have lost memories, manuscripts, and endless hours of work due to viruses, acts of nature, and even hackers. In addition, if you own a business, your chances are 1 in 2 that your business will fail if you lose your all or most of your data. You have a variety of choices for data backup, but they don’t all provide the same amount of data safety.
You might be using your CD or DVD recorder to back up your files, but CDs and DVDs aren’t as safe you might think. Even though you verify that the files copied perfectly onto the disks, damage to the disk over time can corrupt the files making them very expensive or impossible to recover. And if you forget or fail to put the disk in the computer and perform the manual backup, then hundreds of hours of work and files will be vulnerable to loss. Also, if your backed up files on CD or DVD are stolen, the thief will easily recover all of your data because they are probably not going to be encrypted.
Many people are also backing up their data onto a second hard drive or tape storage, either internal or external. These devices work well if they have not also been damaged or otherwise corrupted in the same flood, fire, or lightning strike as the original hard drive. And don’t forget theft. And some reports say that up to half of all attempts to recover data on tape backups do fail.
The easiest and most secure way to regularly backup all of your data with little or no effort on your part is by utilizing an online or offsite data storage company. Offsite backup services usually involve a simple process:
Local Software Installation
First, you’ll have to install a program that works with the server of the online storage provider. Setup of the program is usually very simple and takes about half an hour.
Initial Backup of Entire System
Second, you’ll need a broadband connection, such as a cable modem, DSL, or T1 line. Third, perform a full system backup during an opportune time. Don’t worry about the safety of your data because reputable off site backup providers encrypt your data and store it in super secure locations second in safety only to the CIA and FBI.
Web Management System
Finally, you will likely have complete control to schedule backups, look at and retrieve your files any time of the day through a web interface. You should also receive an encryption code unique only to you to access your online storage.

The odds are 1 in 4 that you will lose all the data on your hard drive due to a virus, hacker or natural disaster, such as a fire, flood, or earthquake. In addition, industry analysts say that almost 50% of business that suffer a complete data loss do not recover and soon go out of business. A look at the four most common methods of data storage reveals that they do not all offer the same benefits and safety.
Maybe you already backup your data to a CD or DVD, but these disks are not always secure. Even though you verify that the files copied perfectly onto the disks, damage to the disk over time can corrupt the files making them very expensive or impossible to recover. And if you are a procrastinator and fail to back up your data regularly, then you will have lost many hours of work and memories. In addition to that, your backed up files on CD or DVD are at risk in case of theft because the files are not encrypted.
You may be thinking about buying a second hard drive or tape storage solution for data backup. These devices work well if they have not also been damaged or otherwise corrupted in the same flood, fire, or lightning strike as the original hard drive. And don’t forget theft. And it has been reported by industry experts that tape backups can fail in 1 out of 2 recovery attempts.
The most effective way to ensure regular and secure file recovery is by using the services of an off site data backup company. Off site data backup is fairly effortless and involves the following:
Local Software Installation
First, you will download and install an application to interface with the backup server of the online storage provider. Setting up the program usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Initial Backup of Entire System
Second, you’ll need to have at least a connection as fast as a DSL or cable modem. Third, schedule a complete system backup during a convenient time. All respectable off site data backup providers secure your files in high security “vaults” that make the CIA envious, so don’t worry about your files.
Web Management System
Finally, many online providers offer a web control interface where you can schedule backups and retrieve files anytime. You should also be issued a unique encryption key to access your data.

The odds are 1 in 4 that you will lose all the data on your hard drive due to a virus, hacker or natural disaster, such as a fire, flood, or earthquake. And if you are a business, you have a 1 in 2 chance of going out of business forever if you suffer a serious loss of data. A look at the four most common methods of data storage reveals that they do not all offer the same benefits and safety.
Maybe you already backup your data to a CD or DVD, but these disks are not always secure. Although the files might copy just fine onto the disks, over time these disks can become damaged making the files impossible or very difficult to recover. And if you are like me and don’t have the self-discipline to manually back up your data onto disk, then weeks and months of work will be at risk. In addition, your files will be compromised if they are stolen because CD and DVD backups usually don’t involve data encryption.
Another popular method for backing up data is on an external tape storage system or a second internal hard drive. These devices work well if they have not also been damaged or otherwise corrupted in the same flood, fire, or lightning strike as the original hard drive. And don’t forget theft. And some reports say that up to half of all attempts to recover data on tape backups do fail.
The best way to keep your backups current and safe is to utilize offsite data backup services that specialize in keeping your files automatically backed up and secure until you need them. Offsite data storage and recovery is a rather effortless procedure:
Local Software Installation
First, you will install a small program that talks to the online storage backup server. It takes up to a half hour to set up the program.
Initial Backup of Entire System
Second, backing up files of this sort requires a fast connection, such as with a cable modem, DSL line or a T1 line. Third, schedule a complete system backup during a convenient time. For secure storage, respectable offsite data backup providers store your files in highly secure “vaults” that are maintained and observed 24 hours a day.
Web Management System
Finally, from almost any web connection anywhere in the world, you should be able to schedule regular online backups, verify the safety of your backed up files and retrieve them on demand, if a web interface is offered. You might also receive an encryption code known only to you to keep your files safe.
