How to Perform Secure Backups
Don't become a cautionary tale. Regularly back up your data to have a secure copy if an unexpected situation
strikes. The time to know what backup is and choose your options is now.
Full vs Differential vs Incremental Backup
Backup applications have long offered several backup operations to protect user data from
potential loss.
The most notable include full backups, differential backups, and incremental backups.
The most notable include full backups, differential backups, and incremental backups.
A full backup includes all data on a device or chosen cloud service, copying all files
to another location.
A differential backup only includes files you have added or modified since the last
full backup.
An incremental backup includes all files you have added or altered since the last
backup, full or otherwise.
Local vs Cloud vs NAS Backup
Backup solutions primarily differ in the storage location.
You can choose from local, cloud, and NAS backups to keep data on-site, store it on a secure remote server, or enjoy the best of both worlds.

3–2–1 Strategy
The 3–2–1 backup strategy means keeping three data copies (the original and two replicas) on two
storage devices (different media types) and one off-site storage.
That provides rock-solid security, regardless of your backup solution.
