Home Backup
How many times have you lost something that you haven’t backed up? If never, you can count yourself extremely lucky so far, but what happens if one day disaster strikes? Your hard drive crashes, someone steals your laptop, your house floods.
Unfortunately, these are all things you have to consider. If this happened to you, would you lose anything important? Financial documents, important work, family photo’s, your music and film collection?
The truth is, less than 5% of computer users backup regularly. Don’t be part of the other 95%!
You can backup quite cheaply and easily by copying files to external media that is kept in your house. On site backup means to keep the backup in the same place as your computer.
- You can buy and setup an external hard drive, and regularly copy your files to it
- You can backup your files to CD or DVD
- You can copy your files to a USB flash drive
However on site backup has it’s drawbacks
- If there was a flood or fire, your backups would be gone as well
- CD’s and DVD’s can be easily damaged
- USB flash drives can be lost
- You forget to regularly backup
Backing up to an off site location online is the easiest way to make sure your data is safe, secure and regularly backed up.
Your files are sent to a secure data centre in two locations (London and Manchester). Your data is sent using 256-bit encryption and stored on the server using your unique key, so no one, except you, can access your files.
And it’s as simple as installing a simple piece of software that automatically backs up all your files every time you make a change, so it’s ALWAYS backed up, straight away.
This means you don’t need to do anything once it’s installed, and you never have to remember to backup again.
If disaster strikes, all your files can be downloaded onto your new computer straight away.
