Carbonite: The Importance of Data Backup Cannot Be Overstated

Though it’s especially true for businesses, data loss prevention affects 43% of PC users, and can be just as devastating. Backing up your personal or business files and database is of paramount importance. These days, all it takes is one strong worm or virus and your data could be forever lost.

Carbonite is a data backup client offering data protection with a 15 Petabyte storage capacity, providing internet and computer users an indispensable service, at a bargain rate of only mere pennies a day. They also offer a 15-day free trial, which will give you a nice introduction to their services.

Once Carbonite data backup is setup on your computer, it requires little ongoing work on behalf of the user. It reads and stores your data as long as you’re on the internet, and users can also log on to the Carbonite site and access their files.

Also, there are no limits on backup storage capacity. Carbonite will back up all the supported files on your internal hard drive whether you have 1GB, 10GB or more. However, users should be aware that the speed of today’s DSL and cable internet services
will make it very slow to back up more than, say, a few dozen GB of data.

“Backup” refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after an incident of data loss. These additional copies are typically called “backups.” Backups are useful, primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore a state following a disaster, a.k.a. disaster recovery. The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.

It doesn’t take a computer scientist to parse the fact that data backup should be equivalent to getting car insurance, or boiling unsafe drinking water; in short, a given.
