Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – Prepare for Crashes with Data Backups

|

Computer crashes pose a serious risk of data corruption or loss, depending on the severity of the crash. Data can also become compromised by malware or ransomware attacks. To counter these risks, it is important to maintain backups of all your data. Keeping multiple backups across a variety of storage methods is key to maximizing recoverability. Examples of data storage methods include external hard drives like HDDs or SSDs, USB flash drives, optical media like CDs and DVDs, and cloud storage services. Keeping backups both on and off-site can further reduce the risk of multiple backups being destroyed or corrupted at once.
