How Important Are Backups?

Home / Blog / Computers / How Important Are Backups?
By chief_geek

Have you ever lost a document, image or other important data from your system? If not, then you are one of the lucky ones. Every second that goes by moves your system closer to a collapse or breakdown of some sort. While the age of your system plays a part in degradation its not the only factor. Proper maintenance and care can help prevent system failure but even then, machines will inevitably have a hardware component malfunction. Most components are readily replaced and relatively inexpensive. It can be reassuring to know your system almost certainly can be repaired if a breakdown occurs. There is however one piece of hardware that continues to cause the most problems when a failure materializes. A system’s hard drive is regularly read and written to, the data stored on it increases and decreases at a moments notice. It is the piece of hardware where all personal information and data is stored. When a system’s hard drive fails, crashes, becomes corrupted or other disaster falls upon it, the consequences surpass other hardware components. While the consequences are extreme, the measures to safeguard in case of such a scenario are probably the simplest.

Hard drives exist because systems need a place to store all the data that users generate. From documents and images to bookmarks and email, backups provide an easy, simple solution to have copies of all your data. A backup contains whatever the user decides but usually contains irreplaceable information such as photographs, term papers, financial records, etc. Once the user designates what is to be backed up it becomes a matter of execution. There are several solutions but ideally the information should be stored on a device that is separate from the internal hard drive on the system.

If a catastrophic failure occurs the user can simply restore their data from the backup device after the system’s hard drive is replaced or repaired. Backup solutions offer not only a safety net for information they can provide a solid piece of mind for the user.
