Unlike online storage, online backup is not designed to free up storage space on your computer.
Rather, it’s a copy of the contents of your computer.
This copy can then be restored to the location of your choice (on a new computer, for example).
This is not archiving!
The primary purpose of online backup is to secure your data against unforeseen events such as :
- Losing your computer or crashing your hard drive
- Theft of your computer, a virus or hacking resulting in the loss of your data
- An operating error resulting in the deletion of key files
With Online Backup
Data can be duplicated several times at different times.
This process allows you to return to previous backup versions.
There are two types of limit in the software concerned: temporal (all versions since a defined time interval are backed up) or numerical (a defined number of versions are backed up).
With WeDoBack, this return to previous versions can only be made within the retention time of your offer.
For example, if your offer includes days of retention, you will be able to revert to old backups within the limit of these days.
What’s more, online backup encrypts both data and data transfers.
Online storage, on the other hand, can help synchronize data between devices and computers used frequently over the course of a day. It’s a collaborative tool, an archiving space that enables data to be shared simultaneously.
