Why Online Backup?

Backing up data is agreed to be a necessary practice by all. There is no dispute about the significant risks posed by data loss to individuals and organizations. People can lose their photos, their music, their files and their precious memories. Organizations stand to lose their entire business in the case of catastrophic data loss.

Good Backup:

A local backup to an external hard drive at home or in the office, provides some measure of security, and hope of recovery.

Local backups to external drives require the user to remember to commit to the practice of backing up regularly. Some people are rigorous about their backup routine and make it a point to do this once a day. But even with all of this effort, if failure occurs in the late hours of the workday, a whole day's work can be lost completely. Not only that, but if theft, fire, flood or any other disaster occurs, the computers and the external drives can be wiped out all at once, leaving your data irretrievable.

Better Backup:

A backup to tape, which is then transported offsite and stored nearby provides greater security still.

Backup to tape, stored offsite, also requires the user to remember to backup. Then, the tapes are offsite, which means that you end up paying for a service where the delay to retrieve your tape and restore your data can cost valuable time and as they say, "time is money". Not only that, but the tape storage facility is often nearby. So, a natural disaster can wipe out both your local data source and your remote data storage all in one day.
