In the past when you wanted to backup all of your files you would have two choices. You would either install a second hard drive to your computer, or you could copy everything to discs. This made data recovery very difficult as you would have to insert disc after disc copying the files every time. The amount of files copied over from disc to PC back then was slow meaning the process would take nearly forever.
Even with a second hard drive it was no picnic. If the hard drive was installed internally it was better as you would have decent speeds. If it was an external model your speed depended on the bandwidth of the cable connecting the two and back then it was not too fast. This could take a very long time and because of that many people simply would avoid doing any of it.
Another method that is popular today and gaining more and more ground everyday is to utilize the cloud and cloud services to maintain a constant real-time backup of whatever software, documents, and applications you have. Although this is a good way to archive your material there are some concerns that people have and they are valid concerns.
This portability and massive size is not expensive by today's standards and really gives anybody the ability to carry loads of data with them anywhere. Not to mention the power of today's cell phones. Many of even the lower quality smart phones have more processing power than computers that considered "high end" a decade ago.
The cloud for instance is something that could have been developed long ago. The technology existed. People just did not come up with the idea of using storage space over the Internet for everyone who wanted it sooner. Had they done so, the cloud services could have existed ten years ago. Of course the larger hard drives help too.
The best part about using the cloud is that you do not need to purchase and install any extra hardware. Normally you would have to buy an external hard drive or purchase a spindle of compact discs or dvd's and copy everything to them. With the cloud services all you need to do is log on and start uploading.
These various solutions have made things a bit easier for everyone because there is less to have to save. One of the biggest things that people worry about are their digital pictures. Today because they are so popular and almost everybody has a digital camera plus their phones are capable of taking such great pictures too, people have gigs of digital pictures on their PC's.
Saving all of this is not a problem and people all do it. But it is the data recovery that can be an issue. It all depends on where it is backed up in the first place. If on discs it can be hard to recover but if on a hard drive it is much easier. People should consider where they will have to recover things prior to saving them there.
