What is data backup?

Answer 1

Data backup is the process of backing up the files on your computer in case your PC crashes or you get a computer virus. There are several different types of backup. Using a backup software solution like NovaBACKUP will allow you to back up your files, photos, music, and email to a local or online location. You can also use the copy files function to create a backup copy of your files in their native file format. You can also create a Disaster Recovery backup which allows you to recover your entire system, including files, applications, settings and your operating system. Most people will create a backup plan that includes both full and incremental backups to ensure that as new files are created or saved their data is protected without having to do a full backup every time (which saves time and space).

Answer 2

Backup data is a term for the files, photos, music, videos and email that have been backed up to an external source using backup software. Backup software is designed to make it easy to backup your data so you can easily recover it in case of a virus, or other disaster.
