Best Laptop Backup Solution
Notebook computers
are the perfect tool for busy on-the-go executives -- powerful, compact and
portable. But those same attributes make them vulnerable to a variety of data
loss risks.
With tiny components and
connections packed in a compact case, laptops are delicate and can easily
overheat, suffer hard drive failures or power outages, making the data they
store extremely vulnerable.
Laptops are also
frequently dropped and damaged, lost or stolen from cars, airports, offices and
homes. WIFI (wireless network) connections also expose your data to viruses to
hackers. Laptop Data Loss Widespread, Costly

Why Laptop Backups Rarely Happen
Coupled with the
extreme vulnerability of laptops is the disturbing fact that most users don't
store their data on a centralized server, and rarely if ever back up their hard
drive.
- Don't regularly connect to a corporate network or
server;
- Don't travel with a backup device such as an external or tape
drive, and even if they do, they are subject to the same type of risks (loss,
theft, damage, corruption, etc).
- Are often sales people who don't have the time or expertise
for complex solutions.
