Backup
December 16th, 2007
Today we live in the world of information. Every bit of information is significant in whatever we do everyday. Obviously, we need storage for these data. Though resources are scarce, I still believe that we have enough storage to store what information we have. The problem, I believe, that is very disturbing is how secure our storage is. I may be wrong since I don’t religiously follow technological advances, I think that there is no perfect way to backup data. Data is bound to be lost one way or another and it is unpredictable when to lose them. It doesn’t matter how often or regularly you make backup of your data, there still is a window of opportunity to lose data. In addition, backups are not always in working condition because we don’t test these backups.
I am a victim of data loss. I didn’t lose much because I don’t have much. My host’s servers crashed and all data were lost. The recent backup they made was corrupted, thus I had to use an old backup.
