What is data backup?
A backup, or backing up, is the copying and archiving of a computers data items such as photos videos, documents and in some cases an exact copy of the computer. This means that if data is deleted or corrupted, the hard drive breaks or the computer breaks and cannot be repaired all your data is not lost as it is a copy backed up in more than one location.
What types of data backup are there?
There are two main types of data backup with different ways to make them work.
Cloud backup
This is where you use the internet to take your date via a secure connection and back it up off your property. this way if there is a fire etc. all your important data is stored elsewhere
Onsite backup
This is where data is backed up to some device in your house. usually a hard drive or memory stick but could also be a network attached storage device.
