World Backup Day

This is an era where “Data is the new gold” and World Backup Day on 31st March is a reminder for all to protect the valuable data by saving a secure backup and eliminating the risk of losing precious files.

As most of the people become more reliant on technology and data, there is a growing importance of making sure that the data is safe so the people never lose their precious images and videos from your family trip or important documents from work that was deleted unknowingly. People run the risk of losing those files if their laptop stops working, files become corrupted or any other stroke of bad luck that strikes your gadgets.

According to IT service management company Gartner, “25% of all PC users suffer from data loss each year.”

It is time to be safe rather than sorry, and backup datas as soon as possible. The options are endless when it comes to storing a second copy of files and even a common device such as a pen drive or an external hard disk would do the job. However, looking for the best way to store a backup then the answer is decentralized cloud storage such as StorX.

There are two types of cloud storages to choose from, centralized cloud providers such as Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and decentralized cloud providers like StorX. Both are cloud storages but there are vast differences.

In a centralized cloud, the data is stored on a centralized data server and with a single point of failure, the availability of data depends on whether the server is working or not. Using Centralized storage could also result in data being disclosed to third parties, manipulated or even altered. Whereas in a blockchain based decentralized cloud, the data is split into fragments, encrypted and stored across multiple storage nodes running on multiple computers across the world. As decentralized storage doesn’t rely on any one party, user can recover all their data even if multiple storage nodes fail and no one will have ownership of those data other than the user. It is a 100% trustless system and offers better security, privacy and uptime at fraction of the cost of traditional cloud storage providers.

So take the pledge to backup laptop, mobiles and all the other devices with important data regularly this World Backup Day and never worry about losing files ever again that are important.
