Backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These additional copies are typically called "backups."

Backups are useful primarily for two purposes:

• The first is to restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery).
• The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted.

If you use a computer for anything: getting email, writing business proposals, creating photo albums, you're creating computer files. Regardless of your business (medical, legal, financial or running a home) you create data all the time - data bases of medical records, client information, budgets, emails, photo albums - and if they were to be lost and non-restorable it would be a hassle at best and a disaster at worst. Proven Backup's online backup will make sure your files are secure, stored and able to be restored.

Why do you need to backup your files?

All computers fail, all tapes run out of space, all traditional methods of safeguarding your data fail at some time or another. Every day people/business loose records due to natural disasters (floods, power outages), computer virus, hardware malfunctions, software corruptions and even human error. The question isn't how, but when. Backing up your files with Proven Backup allows you to avoid data loss (it's safely in our secure data vaults) as well as gives you the ability to restore your needed data from anywhere with an Internet connection.
