You never know when you will go to turn on your
computer and hear a click, click, click of the
hard drive and nothing happens. But, computers
are not the only devices at risk of failure. Your
smartphone or tablet could also fail at any time
from being dropped or some other type of
malfunction.

Even though people have numerous options
available to back up their data, there are still
many who do not. In addition, there are different
types of data backup methods and using the right
ones are equally important. Depending on which
ones you use, your backup might need its own
backup, too.

Backup versus Data Sync Two-way data syncing is
what people are most familiar with because it is
available on most smart devices. This type of
backup allows you to select what types of files
you want to upload to the Cloud. You can also
access your backup files from other devices and
re-synch with the Cloud to always have the latest
versions.

However, if you delete or move data from the
device, it is also removed from the Cloud. On the
other hand, an actual backup is a one-way data
sync of your important files to an external
location, like the Cloud. It keeps all the
original versions in case you should need to
recover them.

Backups that ExpireCertain Cloud-based data
storage services will automatically delete your
files and data after a period of inactivity. Two
of the most notorious ones are Dropbox and
Android. Dropbox will at least send you an email
ahead of time giving you time to either move the
data or reactivate your Dropbox account.

Android, on the other hand, does not send out
notices. Some people have discovered their data
backup has been deleted after just two weeks of
inactivity! If you use these types of services,
your backup really needs its own backup just to
be safe.

Creating Secondary Backups The easiest way to
create a backup of your backup is to use multiple
backup methods. For instance, you could use
Cloudbased data storage and a one-way data sync
for your first backup. For the second one, you
could back the same data up to an external data
storage device, such as a USB jump drive or
compact personal portable storage drive.

Which Backup Method Is Best? It really is a
matter of personal preferences and which backup
methods are the easiest for you. Just remember,
some of these might have an expiration date for
inactivity, so always check with the provider to
find out how long data is kept.
