Importance of Backups

The process of copying data to external storage media for protecting important data stored in a hard
drive is called a "backup". Large-capacity hard drives store a large volume of data everyday. The loss of
data due to an accident, human error, or unexpected event can result in significant losses for business
operations.
Making a backup saves the same data to multiple storage media (such as a hard drive). As a result, in the
event that the data saved in one media is corrupted or lost, the corrupted or lost data can be restored
from another storage media.
Note: Create backups on a regular basis when using a hard drive.
