Yes, We keep hearing about a variety of
solutions, a huge array of technologies for protecting your data and it is
important to find the best solution for our needs, ranging from small USB Flash
drives to external “book” drives, to backing up to the cloud. So here’s the
question…
Should you use “cloud” services to back up
your files or should you use external hard drives?
The opinions are divided. On the one hand,
Cloud storage technology has matured to the point where it’s fairly reliable.
On the other hand, External Hard Drives only cost you one time, but your data
isn’t always available everywhere. For more details about it do visit our IT services center in South
Melbourne.
What do you do when you have a loss of
connectivity to your cloud storage?
This can happen due to a power loss, a
misunderstanding between you and your provider over the bill payment status, or
simply being in a location that has very spotty Internet access. For this, our
IT Support Service team, Melbourne recommends an external hard drive or a USB
flash drive or SD card that may fit the bill. As long as you have power, you
can backup your important work.
The biggest Blunder that people make when
going this route is that they move all of their files over to the external
drive but what when you didn’t have the hard drive in place, before you used to
think, “Now I’m backed up. Now I’m safe but you’re not. Your data has to be in
TWO places to be safe. One is "Cloud" (data centers available to many
users over the Internet.) and the other is "External hard Drives"
(portable storage device attached to a computer through a USB or FireWire
connection, or wirelessly.) you have to choose your best choice.
When it comes to your IT systems, you’ve got
more important things to do than being confused by techy sounding specs about
software, hardware, processes, and so on.
Because ultimately, what you want from your IT support company is
simple: things should run as smoothly, as efficiently and as effectively as
they can be.
