Data is critical to run a business smoothly and efficiently. Personal data is connected with many relations, emotions and memories which one cannot afford to lose. It is very important to have a backup of all important data in order to avoid losing the data permanently in a theft or an accident. Following are the different features of an internet backup service. 1. The backup of the data is done automatically without any human intervention. 2. When the process of backup of the data is interrupted due to a system failure, power failure or network failure then the backup of the data resumes once the system is available. 3. In an internet backup service the backup of the data is done irrespective to the location of the data in the system. 4. Some backup services have restriction to the size of the files to be backed up while other services do not have any such restrictions. 5. Back up is done even on files that are open. 6. One can either schedule an internet back up service for the backup of the data to take place at a particular time or leave it to the service to do the back up whenever a new file is added or a change is made in a file. Some services perform a backup at regular intervals of time like every 30 minutes or so. 7. The backup data can be accessed and recovered at any time and from any place. 8. The service can backup data from both a single computer as well as from multiple connected computers. 9. An internet backup service provides security and privacy to the backup data through encryption. 10. The encryption key or password is provided to access the data. 11. The service provides backup of data not only in computers but also provides backup of the data stored in mobiles like contacts, photos, videos, calendar etc. 12. In the data backup the data is saved and stored remotely online on servers where the data cannot be destroyed, stolen or deleted. 13. An internet backup service provides the backup of files in different versions. Some services have limited versions while others provided unlimited file versions. 14. The efficiency of the backup service is increased by performing a backup of new and changed data only instead of performing a backup of the whole data again and again. This decreases the use of bandwidth which in turn increases the efficiency. 15. There are many companies that provide different internet backup software services that have different features at very reasonable and affordable prices. 16. One can either restore or access their data on which backup was done through the internet or the backup service providers also give an option to their customers to send the backup data on a CD or on a hard disk to them. So the option of a soft copy as well as a hard copy is available.
