International holidays - International Backup Day (World Backup Day)

Why is data backup so important today? Every day, people, businesses, and even gamers lose huge amounts of valuable data because they failed to do one basic procedure. There is nothing more traumatic and unpleasant than losing your phone or crashing your hard drive, where hundreds of valuable documents or photos are collected. Today, 83% of people own a computer and 93% have a mobile phone, but only one in four people in the world back up their data. Nowadays, the loss of documents can lead to the collapse of the entire production system. World Backup Day, celebrated annually on March 31, is a reminder of the importance of backing up your files. A couple of users on the social news site Reddit suggested creating a World Backup Day to raise awareness about backup and data safety. The original idea for the holiday arose on the eve of April Fool's Day, when computers are attacked by specially created April Fool's viruses, which cause many computers to crash. On this day, people not only copy personal data, but also talk about the enormous task of preserving digital heritage and cultural works for future generations. Important document copying can be done in many ways. Knowledgeable backup makers store their documents on a removable drive or upload them to online storage: OneDrive, Dropbox or GoogleDrive. These services are not very powerful and only backup one folder from your computer. However, this is the most suitable option for students copying the most important data. Almost all phones are connected to some form of copying. iPhones are linked directly to iTunes, which creates duplicates of all important data. You just need to connect it to your computer and update your files daily. Remember to take steps today to save your data and keep another copy of all documents somewhere safe!
