The Value of Having a Good Backup System

Since when do you use a computer? 1 day? 10 years? No matter what happens to have a good backup system is needed. Memories and film archives that are important. For many years, archives have accumulated. Is not in a moment. To lose all the data? Nobody does not like. Then you need a good backup system.

How are backups being done?


The important thing is the computer's hard disk file in another location in the extra copy. The easiest way to make a backup of data as a whole is in an external hard disk. You can also upload them to online file hosting services or having your multiple drives at RAID 1 configuration.

1) Online file hosting

There are many sites to host the files online. But very few sites are reliable. These sites provide free or premium service. I'm sure you've heard about RapidShahre, SaveFile or BoxNet. Rapidshare the best of me. If you are premium members never delete files. Forever. You can host your files forever. Without danger of deletion. (but this mad world, everything can be)

Security

If you need security for your files, you can password protect your files using Winrar. A simple .zip or .rar file with a strong encryption (password) is almost impossible to be opened without the correct password. Do not forget! sure each computer is formatted. Be dignified.

2) External Hard Drives

The easiest method to do backup is by having external hard drive. External hard drives for extra storage or backup is used. I have a few suggestions to you. Speed and capacity price increases. Make up your mind.
