Today, March 31, is World Backup Day 2024!
This anniversary, which started way back in 2011, wants to make businesses as well as individuals aware of the importance of having their data backed up and safe with an annual commemoration.
If we think about any business in the world, small or large, we know for sure that every day it has to manage data to carry out its work. Personal registries, orders, payments are a few examples of activities that are indispensable for a business, activities that need to write this data in almost always digital devices, whether they are servers, storage or simple computers.
Let us now think of ourselves, our family members, our friends. Who among us does not use a smartphone or computer? Photos, videos, messages, important documents, all valuable material that we certainly don’t want to lose.
But what if the computer suddenly breaks down or our smartphone gets stolen? We would no longer be able to recover our data, unless we had backed it up first!
Well yes, for any important data, it is good practice to make at least a second copy and keep it in a safe place. Cloud, external hard drives, usb sticks are some examples of devices that can help us save our important files, a backup indeed!
Sometimes we do not realize the importance of something until we have lost it, but why take the risk?
Backup is the solution!
