Are you properly backing up all of your important files and data (across all of your devices)?
We now have faster and more reliable internet connections in our homes and businesses, so it should be “set-and-forget” for backing up information that is important.
Most people will have heard about or used OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud … but are you using it properly and are you sure that you have everything covered?
There’s a bunch of reasons for making sure you have a bit of a plan around back-up. If you encounter a cybersecurity ‘event’, or if you lose a device (or it’s stolen), or if you have a broken device or hard drive failure – these are all times where back-up becomes critical.
WestVIC Technology is here to discuss your back-up options and see what is going to work best for you, or your business. If you are looking at this from a business perspective, we can also have a chat about how you manage all of your important information and look at ways of improving the “why, how and where” of file management and storage.
These are the key reasons for getting your house in order for back-ups and the cloud:
Accessibility: You can access your files and photos from anywhere with an internet connection, making it convenient to access important information on the go.
Security: Cloud providers have robust security systems in place to protect your data. This includes encryption, secure servers, and regular backups to prevent data loss.
Reliability: Cloud providers typically have multiple redundancies in place to ensure the availability of your data. This includes multiple copies of your data stored across multiple servers in different locations.
Scalability: Cloud storage is scalable, meaning that you can easily increase or decrease the amount of storage you need as your needs change.
Cost and Time Effectiveness: Backing up large amounts of data can be expensive if you do it locally and manually. However, cloud storage providers typically offer a range of pricing options, making it an affordable option for individuals and businesses of all sizes (and it’s automated as a background task).
