What is online backup?

In information technology, a backup or the process of backing up refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.

Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery). The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.

Data loss is very common; 66% of internet users have suffered from serious data loss.
Since a backup system contains at least one copy of all data worth saving, the data
storage requirements are considerable. Organizing this storage space and managing
the backup process is a complicated undertaking. Security is a consideration. The user
may or may not have the storage capacity and the technical skills to back up his/her own data.

A remote, online, or managed backup service is a service that provides users with
a system for backing up and storing computer files. Online backup providers are
companies that provide this type of service to end users (or clients).

Everyone has lost data. Some by way of computer crash, some by way of deleting
something by mistake. Most of us don't have the time, storage space, or expertise
to back up our own data. We would like an easy way to do it. We would like for our
data to be as safe as it would be on our own computer. There is a place online
where you can back up your data. Your data will be secure, and the backup with be
free! Back up your media, photos, and files - do it now!
