Cloud backup keeps your data backed up in a faraway, secure location and serves as a reliable option for better data security and accessibility. Any time a disaster strikes your computer - be it a power outage or malware attack, or even an accidental deletion of data from your computer – you can be assured that a copy of your file is safe and secure in the cloud.
All you need to do is backup the files from your computer or device to a cloud account. The data backed up to cloud is hosted on a secure data center, maintained by cloud providers for a fee.
Why Cloud Backup?
Because you can lose data more easily than you think, and the below statistics prove this fact!
Cloud Backup vs Cloud Storage
Computers, smartphones and tablets store personal data, contact information, and even documents with sensitive information. Most of these devices, particularly smartphones and tablets, come with built-in cloud storage apps. You can manually upload data to 'cloud storage', but every time a file is modified, it needs to be uploaded again.
Cloud backup, on the other hand, will automatically backup the changes made to the files. So every time you modify a file on your computer, it is backed up to the cloud in near real time.
Multiple Devices – One Cloud
On an average, we all use a minimum of 2-3 devices on a daily basis, be it our computers or mobile devices. Transfer data from these devices into a single cloud account.
Data is Safe on Cloud
Cloud backup services offer encryption of data during backups and restores. Backup all your data to your cloud account to keep them safe and secure.
The Cost Factor
Cloud backup is affordable, considering the value of data you need to save. Backing up data to the cloud, not only keeps them secure over the years but is also cost effective in the long run.
