World Backup Day

World Backup Day is a worldwide holiday dedicated to the importance of backing up data. This essential technology allows us to secure our information. Computers, like any machines, are prone to breakdowns, and it’s crucial to be prepared for any situation. If something happens to your device, there is a high probability of losing a significant amount of important data permanently. For this reason, backing up is the best way to protect the information you need from loss. The holiday is observed every year on March 31.

History

World Backup Day was established in 2011. Initially, it began as a small initiative aimed at encouraging people to use backup technology more actively. Over time, the holiday gained popularity and is now observed worldwide.

There are several methods of backing up data. Backing up to another physical medium or cloud storage is highly popular among users. By transferring data to a virtual storage space that is secure (accessible only to the user), the information can be retrieved at any time, regardless of the current state of the device used for copying.
