Data Backup Software Vs Self Backups: Which Is Best?

When you do a self backup by saving your files on your own disk or other media format rather than using data backup software, you really subject your data to risk due to human error. The fact is that you can absolutely plan to do a backup storage event of your files on a regular basis, such as every night or every week, but how often does that really happen? The fact is that very few people follow their scheduled backup plan because life just gets busy and things happen, and data storage events get pushed to the back burner. While running your own backup event is cheaper on the outset, imagine the cost that you would incur if you had a disastrous data loss when it has been a month or longer since you last saved your files to your backup disk.

Busy people may think they don't have time to mess with using data backup software. However, the truth is that busy people don't have the time to do backups regularly without such a solution or to deal with the consequences of data loss to a disastrous event. A software solution allows you to set up a backup schedule, and then get back to your busy life without having to worry about performing daily or weekly backup events on your own because the software will handle it for you.
