backup
An IT term referring to the copy of computer files and software made to avoid loss of data and facilitate recovery in the event of a system crash. A backup may be saved in several different ways:
- USB sticks/ CDs (limited space)
- external drive (adequate capacity but cumbersome)
- online backup (cost and security issues)
The value of data is not easy to estimate but its loss - be it through spilled tea or computer damage - is always a nuisance and sometimes disastrous. Regular backup is uncomplicated but invaluable.
