World Backup Day: Yesterday, March 31st, was World Backup Day, a reminder and opportunity for all of us to avoid a tasteless April Fool's Day prank and make sure we have a safe backup of our most important files.
Most physical storage media, from hard drives and USB drives to CDs or DVDs, are vulnerable to natural disasters. Let’s not even mention cases like your laptop being stolen, your USB stick being lost, or your files being accidentally deleted. Admit it, we’ve all been there at one time or another. Having only one copy of your files is never a good idea…
Of course, keeping a second copy right next to the original won't save you from a natural disaster like a fire or even a robbery.
Consequently, a series of online backup services have recently emerged , providing very useful options for simple, low-cost backup creation.
There are of course some issues here too, mainly related to privacy protection.
Depending on the service you use and the location of its servers, your data could be accessible to government agencies, or even hackers!
So on the occasion of World Backup Day, we're giving you some tips on how to better protect your files and avoid unpleasant surprises.
So, if you upload your data to a cloud , it is preferable to:
- Use strong encryption to ensure the privacy of content.
- Make sure access is controlled by strong passwords and two-factor authentication to keep unwanted people out of your account and...
- Don't forget to pay the subscription fee as your data may be deleted if your account expires!
Have a nice month with safe files!
