More Secure Than Offline Alternatives
Most people think that as long as a backup of their data exists on a CD, DVD, flash drive, or external hard drive they are safe. Many fail to consider what happens to those backups once completed.
- Where did I store the data that I backed up?
- Who has the ability to access to my data?
- Are the backups encrypted should they get lost or misplaced?
