How to Backup Your Data Automatically

In today's digital world, all our important data - such as documents, photos, videos, office files, projects, banking information, passwords - is all stored in mobile or computer. But what if suddenly your mobile gets damaged, laptop gets formatted or hard drive crashes? If you have not backed up your data, your valuable information may be lost forever.

To avoid this danger, automatic data backup is necessary . That is, a system that automatically backs up your data, and you do not have to worry.

In this blog, we’ll go into detail about what automatic data backup is, how to set it up, which tools are the best, and what things to keep in mind.

What is data backup?
Data backup means making a copy of your original data, which is kept in a safe place so that if the original data gets deleted, you can use that copy.

What is automatic data backup?
Automatic backup eliminates the need for you to manually backup every day. Once you set up a system or app, it automatically backs up your chosen data on a regular basis – daily, weekly or on a regular basis.

Why is automatic backup necessary?

  • Data can be recovered in case of virus or malware attack

  • Format or reset will not erase data

  • Saves time – no manual backups needed

Which locations are used for automatic backup?

  1. Cloud Storage – like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud

  2. External Hard Drive or SSD – which is connected to the computer and the time schedule is set

  3. Network Attached Storage (NAS) - Used in large offices or companies

  4. Backup Software – such as AOMEI, EaseUS, Macrium Reflect, etc
