Cloud Back Up

A reputable cloud service provider has all the appropriate security and safe-guards in place

The short answer is yes but there is a caveat. Provided you are using a reputable cloud service provider that has all the appropriate security and safe-guards in place, your data is safe.

An enterprise-grade cloud server will be housed in appropriate infrastructure where is it safe from physical threats like fire, flood, military attack, etc.

The server will also have appropriate back up power supply systems in the event of power outage, environmental management systems to ensure that the hardware is always operating at a safe rate and is manned continuously.

These data centres will usually be located across a variety of different places so if you save your data to one location, the data is backed up in other locations around the world, providing seamless cloud back up and retrieval.

Most importantly, reputable cloud back up Brisbane companies have superior encryption software that encrypts your data on your device and the applications that you’re using, during transmission to the data farm and while at the data farm.

A properly configured cloud based back up service will always offer superior data security than that of a local on-premises server for a number of commercially sound reasons:

1. data farms commercial facilities have to meet a much higher standard of security than a local server;

2. data storage is generally cheaper than continually buying and replacing your own local back up hardware; and

3. it will always be more efficient, reliable and less prone to human error and hardware malfunction than a local drive.
