Implication of Backup Recovery for Commercial and Non-Commercial Use
The process of backup recovery
means to make a duplicate copy of database of the user that could be recovered
later in case of data loss. This involves two steps; making backup and recovering
it. Software that is capable to do both the jobs for you is called backup recovery
software. Backup can be made on removable devices such as flash drives, hard
disks and CDs etc. The process of making backup has become easier with the arrival
of online backup recovery softwares which allow you to make backup of your
database on an internet server provided by the website. For making an online
backup, you must have high speed internet available all the time in order the
copy the latest files and folders to your online database. You can use remote
backup service for making backup which allows you to share your data with your
friends or family living far away from your location. You can request for
encryption key to make your data secure and give it to your family and friends
to access the data online from anywhere in the world.
Backup can also be made offline
on hard disks, floppy drives and optical storage devices such as CDs, DVDs and
BLU-rays. Major drawback of making data on optical drives is that you cannot
change or modify the data because once the data is written; it will stay like
it is forever. One can use partial option in backup recovery softwares to copy
only those files that have been changed or modified since the last location. This
saves the time and hard disk space occupied by the backup. In backup recovery softwares,
there is a feature of File system dump using which you can create a copy of the
whole system. This is related to image copying in which an image of the
database is created which is modified with the changes in the original
database.
Making backup using backup recovery
softwares gives you many advantages over windows built in backup feature. You
can use file compression option to reduce the size of your backup and in this
way you do not have to filter your data that needs to be copied. Such softwares
improve data security because only you have the access to your data and only
you can change, edit or modify it. Surely, using softwares instead of windows
built in feature enables you to make a secure and reliable backup for later
use.
