Backing up information and data is essential for any home or business user! This is so that all information is recoverable in the event of disaster or some kind of data failure.
This could include your hard drive crashing, a device being stolen, power surges damaging a device, fire or water damage, a virus or a ransomware attack. Instead of facing the prospect of lost work, missing information or the loss of precious memories, it is always a good idea to back up your machines.
Any data which is not backed up is sadly susceptible to being lost or damaged, that’s why africaonline’s Backups for Africa gives you the ultimate peace of mind.
