When you think about it, all the important information in your life is now stored on a computer. Whether it's photos and music, or business documents and financial records, everything is digital. Unfortunately, data loss happens. Hard drives crash, drinks spill, and files are accidentally deleted. One major disadvantage to local backups (backups where the data that is transferred stays within the same building), is that the data is only as safe as the building it is in. What happens in the case of a fire, burglary, flooding, or storm damage? Local backups are inexpensive and efficient, but can be prone to loss that is beyond your control. Remote backup is a viable option for those that have these concerns or just do not want to deal with local backups.

Why You Need Data Backup...

If you are like I was, you probably never really think about the components of your computer. You trust that it will turn on, keep your data safe, and aid your productivity. You believe it lasts forever and only when it starts to seem "slow" do you consider that maybe it is time for a new computer. But then it happens - the unthinkable. You get a crippling virus or *gasp* your hard drive fails and the only solution is to reformat the hard drive or get a new hard drive. I bet the first things to cross your mind are: what about all of my files? My pictures? My music? It took me losing my entire library of digital music (several hundred dollars worth) to understand how much trust I put in my computer and how wrong I was to not have measures in place to protect my valuable files.
