Desktops and Laptops – Do They Have the Same Cloud Backup Solution?

Desktops and laptops both require a backup solution like Cloud.  These are both computers although the nature of their respective use may vary. The question is do desktops and laptops have the same cloud backup solution?

The Cloud Backup Solution

Cloud offers off-site data protection. It is able to protect servers, desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.  It is considered a highly optimized solution that is both secure and convenient.  Data are de-duplicated, compressed and encrypted before they are sent to the cloud.

The Cloud backup solution can back up the files of small and medium sized businesses effortlessly.  The level of protection offered is comparable to that of big corporations. Businesses who find themselves facing the reality of data loss can have them recovered or at least the part they need to recover. This is true whether the loss was externally or internally caused. Reviews on various backup options can be viewed at www.bestbackups.com.

Is It the Same or Not?

As a general rule, different technologies may be required in backing up files on different environments. The existing environment   in a desktop permanently connected to a network  is a lot different from that of a laptop which is mobile. There lies the general answer to the question.

Cloud backups are traditionally provided to desktops  through a software. It provides benefits by allowing online backups to the cloud storage of choice, compressing data for reduced storage costs, and encrypting data for safe storage. Payment for storage space used is made directly to providers. Cloud storage providers are not created equal and users should pay attention to the space, price, and compatibility with their operating system when making a choice.

Cloud backups for laptops are done generally in the same manner.  The reality that many people have to work remotely in places other than their usual work areas has made it necessary to opt for protection of laptops in the same manner as required in the desktops used at the office. It is an everyday reality in businesses that sending data cannot wait for the return of the employee from his or her field assignment.  Mostly everything has to be transmitted at once and without delay.

Essentially, the process of enabling cloud backup for desktops and laptops are the same. The difference mainly lies in the environment in which it is done.  The expected benefits however, are the same which mainly focuses on ensuring that important data will not be permanently lost when system disaster strikes.
