A potent virus could attack your PC, your hard disk could crash, your computer's hardware may malfunction, and your backup files can be compromised. In any of these scenarios, your business and work flow are vulnerable to data loss.

Getting online data backup services can solve this ill scenario. If you're still backing up your data yourself, the reasons below might convince you to acquire a remote backup service.

- Online storage means your files are safe, even if your PC isn't.

Remember, no hard disk is immortal and there is no such thing as complete system reliability. Software that can back up your data on the same hard disk is available, but you need to devote time to master it. However, in the event of a hard disk crash that knowledge might be useless.

- Let someone else worry about your data.

Companies that offer an automated system for storing your data already abound. They usually have the software, more than adequate space on their server, and the expertise to ensure your files are both stored and easily retrievable. Remote backup service comes in free and commercial versions. Choose a provider that offers remote backup service with free backup on removable disks such as USB Drive and CDs.

- Continuous, automated file protection.

Depending on your backup provider, files can be backed up as often as you want-- on a daily, weekly or monthly basis-- and allowing you to retrieve both earlier and recent versions of your files. If Internet connection is a problem, some backup providers offer shipping your data in CDs.

- The payment you allot for the backup service improves your data management.

How much you pay for a remote backup service is usually determined by how much data is backed up, how many PCs are backed up, and how many versions of files are stored. Since you can't possibly want every version and every kind of data backed up, prioritize which data you are not willing to lose.
