When was the last time you backed up your data? Chances are if you are like most people your answer is never!

Important data needs to be backed up regularly. This applies to businesses and individuals, whether it’s educational qualifications or business data on your laptop.

Data lost may never be recovered and may cause emotional or financial damage. That is why you should always have your data backed up to prevent losing valuable information in the event your device is lost, stolen, or your company falls victim to a ransomware attack.

In previous articles we spoke about the importance of securing your devices at home and for your business. This article talks about the importance of backing up your data and how ZOL enables you to do that.

While there are quite a number of data back up options available, none gives you value for money quite like ZOL’s Crashplan for Africa.
