Protect Your Precious Memories with Online Backup

by trycmcw

Although some of us yearn for a time before computers, we live in
a digital world. Many of us own computers not for our own
benefit, but because our friends, children, and grandchildren
insist on using email and digital photographs to communicate with
us.

However computers fail. They stop working or get attacked by
viruses or even get burned up in a fire. When that happens, many
of our memories go with them. Letters from loved ones, pictures
of your family, that video of your daughter's wedding can all be
gone in the blink of an eye.

The good news is that all of these treasured items can be saved.
When a computer is backed up, a copy of the information is made
and stored somewhere else. If the computer is damaged or even
completely destroyed, the information remains safe.

Computer Backup Options

In the past, computers were backed up onto tape cassettes. This
was an inexpensive and easy way to make many copies of
information, but was used mostly by businesses. Tape backups
require buying a special tape drive that has to be installed in
your computer so aren't common among non-business computer
owners.

Tapes are still used for backup data storage but there are other
options. Most computers today come with drives that can write to
CDs or DVDs. When this capability was first introduced, it was an
expensive and slow process and tape backups were still common. As
the technology has improved and the price has come down, this has
become one of the most common types of backup.

However, each disk can hold only a small fraction of all the
information on your hard drive. A full backup could take a dozen
disks and someone has to be available to swap disks as needed.

The Advantages of Online Backup

Now that internet connections have become so fast, many people
are opting to use online backup for their remote backup needs.
With online backup, all of your information is saved to another
computer over your existing DSL or cable internet connection.
There are no tapes, CDs or DVDs to buy, no extra equipment to
install, and your data is saved without any intervention from
you.

The connection used for your backup is encrypted so no one can
eavesdrop on your data and read it as it is sent. The remote
computer your data is stored on is protected against intrusion
and only a password you choose can get access to your
information. Even the company that operates the online backup
service can't get to your data.

A big advantage to online file storage is that it is "set it and
forget it". After you install the backup software on your
computer, you tell it how often you want to back up and it will
automatically do it without your intervention. This way, if
disaster strikes, your precious memories are safe and you can
rest easy!
