Vancouver online backup – what is online backup

 

Online backup is a way to backup data and store it offsite by backing up files, folders, or even entire computers regularly on a remote server. There are many companies providing such services for subscribers, such as SmarttNet’s Vancouver online backup services. These services copy selected files to backup storage at the service provider’s location. In some cases, the data is also copied offsite once again from the service provider’s location to have double redundancy. This service is also sometimes called desktop backup, remote backup, or web-based backup. This kind of online backup is safer than backing up locally because backup drives can be stolen or destroyed if they are stored at the same location.
