2. Introduction
• Imagine that you have worked all day updating an document on
your laptop.
• Although it was hard work, the result gave you satisfaction.
• Before the final revision, you went to get a cup of coffee to relax
and stretch your shins.
• Returning to the table, untied shoelace makes you stumble and
drop all the coffee on the laptop.
• The death is sudden and the computer gives no further signs of life.
What to do with the document?
3. Count n security
Cloud server backup systems use encryption to
make data transfer.
The navigation in a security protocol is protected
from external attacks.
Therefore, no one will have access to your files
while you upload the backup to the cloud.
In addition, many providers also encrypt the
storage of files, improving the security further.
4. ◇For a backup to make sense, it must be on a different hardware
used in production.
◇This means that, there is no point in having a backup on just
hard drive of your laptop itself, for example.
◇If your laptop breaks, or is stolen, the backup will go away
together.
◇Buy a specific hardware for this, as an external hard drive, may
represent a high investment and limit the files to a source.
◇With an online backup, you do not need any additional hardware
to protect your files, just a connection to the internet is sufficient.
No additional hardware
5. Accessibility from anywhere
One of the most interesting
characteristics of cloud
computing services is the
ability to access from
anywhere in the world.
If you have an online backup,
just need connection to the
internet so you can access
your files.
6. Possibility of constant backups
Worse than not having a backup system, you have one
and forget to use it. In the rush of day-to-day life, often
forget to do this task.
With an online backup service, you can schedule
recurring backups.
Some systems work online all the time. If you are
connected to the internet and update a file on your
computer, the system backs up it immediately in the
cloud.
7. File sharing
Some people may think, share a backup? But the
idea was not to protect files? Yes, the idea is to
protect! Therefore, the online backup system
allows you to define specific folders or files to be
shared.
Imagine your colleague in the office of client
wanting to share the updated version of
presentation. Rather than move up there to give
presentation,
