Two myths about backups

The following two myths are persistent until today among many users.

Myth 1: Backups at home are safe

According to popular belief, backups at home are safe. This is unfortunately not so. Backups at home are always at risk one way or the other. For example there is no protection from theft and other disasters can lead to data loss, eg fire, etc. For the same reasons you do not store cash under the mattress at home, but deposit the money in a well protected bank, you should not store your backups at home. Because an online backup provides the important local separation of original data and data backups, only this way data is effectively protected against such risks.

Myth 2: Online backup is insecure

This is also a widespread legend, some of which is even true if users upload their data to storage space of service providers such as Google and Microsoft often transmitted or stored unencrypted. Third parties can basically access these unencrypted data, so it is unsecure. Furthermore, these non-specialized services do not provide any guarantee that the data will be available the next day. Therefore we do not recommend to store important files by using unsecure storage space. Online backup services of serious players such as Mozy, Symantec, or UpdateStar offer protection through the use of high-security encryption combined with secure data centers. With these service providers your backups are in good hands. 130,000 user accounts are managed on our server facilities. Only an encrypted offsite data backup offers complete protection - safer than at home.
