There’s a debate about the best kind of backup, but storing your data offsite and online is a good option. The cloud has brought about a revolution in inexpensive storage, making backing up online inexpensive and fuss-free. Essentially, there are two: dedicated backup services and cloud sync services.
Dedicated backup usually comes with a client that’s able to watch files or folders (including types of files) and back them up when they change. Cloud sync services take a different approach, adding a magic folder or drive to your computer, the contents of which are automatically and invisibly synced online. Cloud sync is a more immediate form of backup, and if you create and edit files within the magic folder everything will be backed-up automatically.
Consider security. Your data will be undoubtedly be stored encrypted but that doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if the sign-on system is weak. Some cloud storage providers require you to use your email address as a login name, for example, meaning that anybody who wants to access your data surreptitiously only has to guess your password. If you choose a strong and unique password then this shouldn’t be an issue, of course.
At Limitless Technology, we offer a variety of Cloud Based Backup solutions to meet the needs of our different clients. By analyzing your business requirements, and matching your needs with the right solution, you can be assured your data is backed up, secure, and easily accessible when you need it.
