What is Data Backup? |
Backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These additional copies are typically called "backups." Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery). The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Data loss is also very common. 66% of internet users have suffered from serious data loss.
| The loss of data can be disheartening. Data loss can cause business's to be down for hours, days, even weeks. For home users it can be heartbreaking or downright frustrating. There are various reasons for data loss like viruses, application problems, human errors, operating system failure, and many more. Backup plays a vital role for the businesses or the home user, who spends time on the computer for their personal or business dealings. |

What is Data Recovery? |
Data Recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible secondary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system.
