Internet Data Backup
The process of securing important data and files by electronically backing them up to an offsite server is referred to as Internet Data Backup. The first internet backup software was invented by Remote Backup Systems, Inc. in 1987, using a combination of shareware and telecommunications equipment. Since then, internet data backup and internet data backup software have grown into multimillion dollar businesses.
Compared to older ‘legacy’ systems of backing up data, internet data backup has several advantages. Older forms of data backup utilized local network resources to transfer and store data and files, essentially performing an onsite backup. Internet data backup utilizes the limitless potential of the internet to move data and files offsite, adding a level of protection unavailable on the network.
Legacy backup practices were highly manual operations, and were subject to the busy schedules of the employees tasked with performing them. Internet data backup is almost wholly automated, to the point that many users forget that the service is even running. Using powerful file selection criteria that are user configurable, the most important files get backed up automatically.
Entire industries have sprung up to support the internet data backup industry. Third party software add-ons, affordable NAS and SAN appliances, and software and hardware support websites and organizations help ensure that internet data backup remains as the clear choice for securing data. Consumers have also responded to the services trend towards the mainstream, signing up in droves to protect their home and business computer data.
