Eho!
Keeping data safe is a
big challenge since always. Before computers, man tried to develop the better
ways to keep documents as long as we can. We developed paper, trying to obtain
long life ink, and in the same way we tried to keep photos as long as possible,
with long-life photo papers. In the same way, the places where documents were
kept were developed to be safe from fire, flood, moisture, and anything that
could destroy it.
So since we have
computers we started saving documents in different memories (disquettes,
cd-roms, usb sticks...)
But all this effort of
backup is very fastidious, so with advance of internet, and servers offering
more and more virtual space, it became very common to keep files on a remote
server on internet.
The files that are
kept "on the web" are in fact stored in physical servers (a computer
with a hard disk connected to the web and accessible 24/24h). We decide to call
this backup method the "cloud computing" so all the data (backup and
data that is still in use) is stored on internet.
But this doesn't
really secure your file, as if the server is destroyed (like, the computer with
your files burns) you're going to lose all.
And it can also be
hacked and your files erased. So very serious severs will be multiplied, your
backup will remain somewhere, this backup will be backed up and sent to another
1 or 2 servers, so that we can say that your data is safe.
So, the big job when
backing up is to choose files, send them (or make a physical backup) and them
storing the backup.
Thanks god we have
backup softwares to this for us, like Immortalfiles. Its software will support
file per file backup with flexible backup rules. It works with any backup
server, like Google Drive, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, or OpenStack Swift...
You set it up and them
let the magic comes.
You can have the
backup application for mac or windows. You will be also able to clone all your
files to a USB, eSata, or FireWire external drive to reduce risks of media
damage.
The encryption is very
important too, as your data should stay safe, for this, with Immortalfiles you
may encrypt all data located on a remote storage or on an external USB,
FireWire, eSata drive.
Take a tour on
immortalfiles and discover this greay software.
