What is data backup?
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).
