Thread: Online Backup

Online backup is a process of off-site data storage in which the entire hard drive or a few preferred files are stored on a distant server PC. This kind of capacity is offered by an online backup source. The service provider offers you with client application, which needs to be set up in your PC. After you pay up necessary amount, you can boot start backup process. Once you are linked to the distant server with a net connection (internet), the program will automatically move data stored on your hard drive to the network server. The key benefit of web-based backup is that you have to not do any support work physically. The whole thing is done automatically. Also, data is well secured off-site.

• You can even backup data on multiple locations.

• Data is safely secured off-site without having to manually move it elsewhere.
