The Importance of Backups
Whilst home computers these days get more and more reliable with the introduction of new hardware there is still a massive need for backup facilities.

Backing up files on the Internet is just as important as it is on your home or office computer. Infact there is more of a need on the Internet as there is more of a risk of loosing your files over your home pc. No Matter how secure the server is hardware failures are always iminent and hackers are just around the corner looking for new ways into servers.
Backup Reliability and Stability
Whilst some hosting companies claim to have free backups included with all hosting plans the likelyhood of these being transferred to the same data centre or server is likely. If you pay extra for a backup service it is more likely to be on a more stable server in secure location so that when you do come to downloading it you don’t have any problems with data corruption or have no backup at all.
I know it might sound very ‘responsibile’ to even be bothered about backups but the truth is if you don’t you will regret it when you loose months and months of work or uploads.
Some companies have big problems when it comes to backups and the majority of the time they will be blissfully unaware that the so called ‘back ups’ they are performing are not backups at all, but are just a collection of corrupted files that they cannot do anything with.
The Importance of Security
If you are performing backups and you know that they are working correctly, then Congratulations. Some things you now need to worry about are security:
- Are the backups kept on a computer / server with a password?
- Is that computer / server kept in a secure locked room with fire supression?
- Who knows that the computer / server is kept in that room?
Only when you know all of the questions to the above post do you know that you have secure, stable and reliable backups that will actually work when you want them to.
