What are the advantages of online backups versus local backups?
Online backups are a better protection for your data than
onsite backup solutions like tape, DVD and other
unreliable and expensive storage media. Your files are protected from natural and human
disasters, and the
automated backup process saves time and money.
If you lose your backup along with the very computer it was backing up, then you will have wasted every minute and every dollar
you ever spent on data backups up till that point. Fire, flood, theft, sabotage, etc. can all destroy both the backups
and the computer so it is essential to have an offsite data backups.
You do not have to rely on your employees or yourself to backup your data every night and then take it offsite to a secure
location.
